No Klonopin Tuesday Night

I ran out and my memory bit me (again).

Wednesday morning, I was terribly sleepy and slept in until 8:30am. I was asleep again by 9:30. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I napped at least one other time during the day. I was shocked just how tired I felt. I stuttered a lot, too, something that I haven't done very much in at least a month. It seems obvious that the emotional component to the Klonopin is a valuable one. I certainly didn't feel as "bright" as I had in the preceding days. By Wednesday night, I felt nervous and jittery from the caffeine, but my body felt so whipped it was hard to move, or even think. I hate that feeling.

My reaction to Wednesday probably isn't helped by the fact that Tuesday was such a great day. I felt...alive, in every way. If every day was like that.....Wow! Yes, please.

Last night (Wednesday) was filled with lots of odd and disturbing dreams. They weren't nightmares, but definitely disturbing. Many bad things happened and I couldn't seem to have any positive impact on them. According to my spouse, I talked a lot in my sleep. As usual, it wasn't anything that made sense, but given my dreams, lots of talking would fit.

Today (Thursday), I was still very tired despite tea, soda pop, plenty of water, and trying to keep active. I took at least one nap, maybe more. My memory just isn't reliable. Hopefully, tonight will be more restful.

  1. My name is Julia Bean and i would like to show you my personal experience with Klonopin.

    I am 36 years old. Have been on Effexor for at least 5 months now. My dr put me on 5 to 10mg per night right from the start, I was on it for approximately 4 to 5 months before a friend showed up at my drs appt to tell him what was happening to me. I was sure I was losing my mind and afraid to tell them what was happening. They discontinued my klonopin on the spot and eventually all those symptoms went away it took months!! I don't recall having any withdrawl symptoms but I may have as I had never been on many meds before!

    I have experienced some of these side effects-
    Periodic Amnesia that increased as time went on, confusion, blurred vision, Muscle Pain, Left Sided numbness and weakness, pneumonia... plus plus plus

    I hope this information will be useful to others,
