> Rob, aren't you taking Klonopin? Why don't you just take your Klonopin before bed?
Yes I do take klonopin. Was taking 2mgs before emsam and now am down to 1.5mgs without change in anxiety.
I take the full dose at night. I've been on it 12 years and it still works great for SAD/GAD. But though the anti anxiety benefits remain, the other side effects such as sedation do go away. So though it may still help sleeping a little by taking it at night, it's not that effective anymore for sleep.
Kind of like if you take sleeping pills every night, after a while you will build up tolerance and it will stop helping you sleep. But again, fortunately the anti anxiety benefits remain and it's long half life allow me to just take it once a day. Rob
