A member asked:
Does benzodiazepines like klonopine ever make you feel tired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, absolutely: Klonopin (clonazepam) and its other benzodiazepine relatives all can be fatiguing and sedating, along with their anti-anxiety properties. Results depend on dosage and timing when taking them. Klonopin (clonazepam) is also more potent and longer acting than certain others -- meaning it stays in your system longer. That can make you feel tired also. If using alcohol or other sedating meds, effect will be worse.
