> wsjI'm not sure about this--it would all depend on how bad the insomnia got, as I weaned off. I would probably adjust my tapering to decrease it even slower. My goal is to be completely off the Klonopin--for a number of reasons--and I expect that once I'm off it, my body will re-adjust and any withdrawal insomnia would disappear in time.
Assuming I can successfully wean off to zero mg., I've had success in the past taking .5 mg. Xanax for insomnia, but only on an as-needed basis. Or I might try using Klonopin on an as-needed basis for insomnia--whichever med would ensure the best sleep with minimal drowsiness in the morning.Hope this makes sense.
