I have tried Ativan, Klonopin, and many other drugs for insomnia/poor sleep quality. For me, Klonopin was far superior to Ativan. I have an extremely bad sleep disorder (undiagnosed, but nevertheless real). Klonopin has been a life saver and I have been on it for 5 years.

I have found that Klonopin is much stronger and lasts much longer than Ativan. When I wake up in the middle of the night (6 hours after taking Klonopin), my brain has a tingling feeling.

I'm sure you already know this, but just in case you don't - If you decide to stop Klonopin, do a good taper. I once didn't bother getting a new Rx and I was sick for 10 days. I didn't realize it at the time that I was experiencing withdrawls.
