Klonopin Knocks Me Out

So, my positive thinking didn't go so well today, and I ended up in a near panic attack by 4pm today.  My doctor has prescribed a very low dose of clonazepam (also known as klonopin) for panic situations, and occasionally I need to take a 0.5mg pill to feel better.

The Klonopin definitely makes me feel better and I am glad I have it.  But it really makes me sleepy and just ends up knocking me out.  I guess that is a side effect of all benzodiazepine medications, really...but it kinda sucks.  Sometimes it makes me more sleepy than others....tonight it sent me into a three hour evening nap.  Which of course means I probably won't sleep great tonight.

The good news is that it gives me time to work on other stuff...like my Partylite business and my vision board that I want to create.  But I might be a tired boy tomorrow.  Regardless, I'm determined to make tomorrow a better day.
