Cjm,

I used to take Klonopin ( a benzo like Lorazepam) to sleep but it left me too sleepy. I was switched to gabapentin and I like it much better. I take 600 to 900 mgs an hour before bed. It helps my body and mind settle down. It is not habit forming and has minimal side effects.

I suggest you ask your doctor if you can try gabapentin. It is generic and affordable.

My best to you.
