Shit gets annoying, got so much shit to do but I dont care atm cuz Its like 4am. Had to eat some klonopin, itll prolly knock me out eventually but damnit I hate that I have to depend on them to sleep sometimes. At least I wont let myself take them more than 3 days in a row. I refuse to, Ill go without sleep after 3 days of benzos. I dont want no part of benzo addiction, although I'm probably in its grasp already

Should try ambien. More useful for sleep than clonazapam and less potential of addiction. To taper off benzos, most doctors prescribe phenobarbital.

Ambian sucks I thought it was going to feel like benzos somewhat and have some euphoric properties but It was disappointing it felt nothing like benzos it messed my memory up for a little while and out of it and I was left with a weird taste in my mouth haha. The sleep wasn't even quality sleep.

I smoke weed, so I eventually just end up falling asleep, so that is one thing marijuana is helping me with.
It always has. I had sleep problems before.
As far as Ambien goes, I like it with some weed, at least a little bit. I guess if I ever needed to take it I would have to feel way too awake to even be able to fall asleep but really need 8 hours, and have time to wake up. It's not really habit forming unless you just need it every night and even then it's about getting to sleep.
I kinda like the trippy effects, so I stay up until they start to kick in and then I just feel sleepy anyway.

Low dose seroquel is the best sleep med I have used. No blacking out, no withdrawals.

Benzo addiction does suck, man. I got addicted to Klonopin over summer. A friend of mine had a script for European K-pins, Rivotril, and I was doing like 8mg almost daily for a good while.
Why do you take klonopin to help fall asleep? It's such a long lasting benzo.... I feel like that would be better for going about your day rather than just konking out. Seems like xanax would be better for that, at least IME.

5htp. My girl was an insomniac and i recommended it, it had some weird reverse effect on her the first time but after that it was perfect for her and would knock her out every time. Deep, dreamy sleep with no real addictive potential.

I've been back and forth with all types of benzo withdrawls on all levels. I am currently coming off of a 60-80mg etizolam daily. I am literally hearing flies buzz around my head, vertigo, nausea, anxiety, seizures... I had always said the same as you but the tolerance went up quick for me. the relief is so nice that you will continue to make excuses to take it. I can take opiates and taper easily to keep my dosage low but never with benzos. it's exactly the same with alcohol for me but easier to consume a lot of quick. be careful.
