Took Clonazepam for the first time last night....advice

My GP prescribed me .5mg of Clonazepam for the insomnia and anxiety I have been having. I took it for the first time last night at around 10:30pm. I fell asleep by midnight but i woke up at 4am drenched in sweat. I let it pass and fell asleep and woke up at 6am feeling groggy and fatigued. I completely forgot to eat dinner so I am wondering if the side effects I had were because i did not eat. Has anyone else experienced this when they have taken Clonazepam? I’m afraid to take it tonight again. Please let me know.

its just side affects of ur body gettin use to it its something ur gonna av to go through till ur body adjusts or u cld break it in half if there tablets if its too much 5mg is a very small dose

Clonazepam can leave you feeling tired and groggy. Especially when you first start taking it. I find it very helpful for anxiety. You do have to be careful not to become addicted but it seems you have a low dose. Do u take any other meds ?

Hope you feel better soon

Hi take this medication sparingly and for no more than 2 or 3 weeks as they are extremely addictive and horrendous to get off.
