I'm looking for some answers as my doctor gave me klonopin to help me sleep but didn't really give me much information so if you could answer a few questions that would be great.
What do you take your klonopin for?
How much do you take?
How does your dose come, is it in a whole pill at that dose or do you break up a larger dose pill?
Does it give you that hung over feeling in the morning and if it does how do you combat that?
Do you find it difficult to get up in the morning after taking it?
Any other information that you would like to add would be great, thanks.

klonopin is a benzodiazapine, an anti-anxiety drug. the dose varies on why you are on it and your weight, tolerance, etc. generally, the pharmacy will try to fill your rx in a form where you take one pill and don't have to cut it up.
i've taken it before, very low-dose (0.5 mg twice daily); i found it helped my anxiety but did not cause a hung-over feeling.
for more in-depth information, try looking it up online. www.drugs.com and www.rxlist.com are 2 sites that come to mind.

I take 5 mg. at night. It helps better than anything I've taken (Ambien, Lunesta, and something else the doc prescribed) to get some rest. Take it about 30 mins. before you want to sleep and turn off the TV. It works very well for me. No hangover in the a.m. either.
I take it for severe anxiety/panic attacks. Nothing works as an as needed so I take it as a preventative. I take 3-4mg a day. I have been on 4 but due to TTC have tried to get to 3 a day when I could. When I first started taking it, it made me a little sleepy but I would probably have to take 2-3mg to get really sleepy from it but I dont take it for that reason. I take a whole pill but am allowed to take a 1/2 a pill and cut it if I want. Personally for me as of right now I dont know where I would be without it. I am still an anxious person but it has given me back a huge part of quality of life for me

I'm in a weird inbetween state, .5mg doesn't work and if I take 1mg then I don't want to get up in the morning and I have that hangover feeling, still working out the kinks.
isenephthys- thanks for all the information

I was given it for RLS ( Restless Leg Syndrome). I was diagnosed with this at the same time as PCOS. RLS causes jumping and movement from the nerves in your extrimities. It's not something that you do but a nerve thing that does it on it's own.
I wsa given that to help my nerves calm and let me sleep at night. I no longer take it because I think I finally have control over my body. I don't remember how much I was taking. Whatever the pills were that the dr gave me, I took half of them right before I would lay down. There was another med called Pergolide, but I tunred out to be allergic to it.
I hope this little bit of information helps. No I didn't have the hungover thing going on either.
