Hey Joel - Ambien actually knocks me out so that my dreams are less vivid... It helps in being more alert during the day but I think it's due to actually sleeping for once.. :)
Sorry I couldn't help more.. I saw an article about Klonapin that suggests it helps with alertness so check out the paragraph that discusses prescription drugs. The except goes like this (the link follows it): "Klonopin (generic: clonazepam)... Paradoxically, very small doses (usually a quarter to a half a tablet in the morning and mid-afternoon) improve cognitive function and energy. If the daytime dose is low enough, patients will actually get a lot clearer and think better. If the daytime dose is too high patients will become drowsy. Patients need to adjust their dose for maximum benefit. Adjust the morning dose first, then take the same amount mid-afternoon if needed, then take three to four times the morning dose at bedtime. Consider doubling the dose during severe relapses. " http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/ID/3157
Hope that helps
