How long should I give klonopin a chance til I give up on it

Day 4 on klonopin of a new dose at .25 AM and PM. Still anxious, not as bad. But the fatigue is unbearable. I'm so tired I can barely do household tasks. I just want to sleep all day. It really hits be mid afternoon, I HAVE to sleep at that point or I start to become delirious almost.. Maybe the klonopin is wearing off around that time? Still wake up so groggy and nauseous. Anyways, my question is how long should I give it a try before I give up on it?

Klonopin needs to build up to a steady state in your body before it really becomes effective.   Dosing twice a day is common.  I think you should give it more time to get to this steady state.  0.25 mg is a low dose of klonpin so you should discuss with your prescribing doctor your nauseous feeling when taking it.  I take 1 mg every night to sleep and I never wake up feeling nauseous.

I forgot to also add that when I first take it, it's almost like it puts me in a really good mood... That is before the mid afternoon crash hits.. I hope it's not making me "high"!
