Klonipin is a longer: acting benzodiazepine and it's half life of 20-50 hours will provide a therapeutic level after only a few days of regular use in the evening, but it is still a sedative hypnotic and causes sedation at varying doses. Use with some caution.

Ask for another med: If you are concerned about the side effects of your medicine, ask your doctor for a different medicine within the same class There are several anti-anxiety medications (ativan, xanax, (alprazolam) valium, etc.). These may be effective for you and you may not suffer from the side effects
