anxiety
"I've taken a variety of benzo's in the past - Valium, Librium, Ativan, Xanax, Tranxene -  all of these medicines produced pretty strong sedation side effects.  Have been on Klonopin (clonazepam) for about 3 years now for severe anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder.  I am prescribed 1mg three times a day.  Unlike other benzo's I've taken in the past, I feel no urge to increase the dose at all.  The Klonopin "covers" me all day long without feeling high or disoriented or mentally clouded.

I believe Klonopin is unique among benzodiazepines - because it takes a while to "kick in" there is no calming rush after taking it.  The effects come on gradually, which in my opinion lessens the potential for abuse.  I have little to no sedation from taking Klonopin."
