"i have gad which causes insomnia. i have taken klonopin 2 mg at night as a sleep aid, for about 3 years. no problem developing tolerance, which i have had with other benzos such as ambien &amp; lunesta. my doc says he has many patients using klonopin as a sleep aid for many years with no problems. daytime i take zoloft 150 mg and neurontin 1600mg to control the gad. i think the long half life klonopin has helped daytime anxiety.
after suffering from under-medicated gad for 40 years, i now have a drug combo that has essentially cured my anxiety and insomnia.
the only negative to klonopin as a sleep aid is it takes 2 hrs+ to produce sleep. but then, a restful 8 hrs. so just remember to take it early. say 9:00 if you want to go to sleep at 11:30"
