For sleep it is great as I often have great trouble falling asleep due to a racing mind at bed time. After taking 0.5mg of clonazepam in tablet form I am out like a light in 10-15 minutes. Due to clonazepam having a short half-life in the body the effects have worn off by the morning so I do not experience any residual drowsiness, which is great! For anxiety it doesn't get the same thumbs up from me. It is just too potent. Even at a low dose of 0.5mg taken twice a day I feel noticeably drowsy. I don't like anxiety but I also don't want my consciousness to be impaired by a treatment. I have found diazepam, which is less potent but longer lasting and more even in its effects, to be a much better choice. ]]> Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:19:36 +0100
