I do feel that way as well. Not all the time, but enough for me to notice it. I can only speak for myself (i don't know what goes on in your brain. Lol)
(I have no scientific evidence to back this up)
So, for me, anxiety is the biggest reason why I take this medication. I also have ADHD and a couple other mental illnesses.
My mind is constantly overwhelmed and I basically over think everything. This can be tremendously exhausting. so when I take the Klonopin it calms down all the chaos in my head (which is what makes me feel tired all the time). since it's the mental chaos that makes me so exhausted, the calming effect klonopin has on that I end up feeling more energetic. Or maybe the better phrase would be that it makes me enjoy being awake so I feel more alive.
Idk if any of this makes sense lol. But what I can say is yes, I do feel more energetic and uplifted :)
luke' This will only be a short period Klonopin is one of the stronger in the class and when you take it some people do get a burst of energy and uplift but after a short period as your body gets used to it this will stop. And also can make you talk a lot and other things. So be careful and never take any more than your doctor says.
I've been on 2mgs twice a day for about 3 years and the feeling has diminished some but if I take my second dose after around 6:00 PM I have trouble sleeping so usually I take 2mgs at around 7:00 AM and only take the second if I really need it. I recently took a 2mg Xanax and it made me tired
Right, Luke, your body, and mind get used to it so you don't get that burst like you were getting but I must have misunderstood I thought you said you take one maybe just when you need it and sometimes it can be months apart. glad you got something working chuck1957
No I suffer from debilitating GAD and take 2mgs every morning and have another tab allowed per day but I only take it when needed. Been on this same dose for 3 years
