A member asked:
I'm on clonazepam 1mg and it makes me feel tired throughout the day. i do not take it every day. would a shorter lasting benzo be a good option?

Not necessarily: Clonazepam has more than it's fair share of sedating side effects. Valium has less even though it is even longer acting. Mos of the shorter acting agents are also less sedating but if you are taking the pills regularly and not as needed, you may not want to sacrifice stability
