I have severe insomnia . Klonopin does not make me tired , I wish it did . I take for anxiety . Did you ever take trazodone ? Min stopped working and have been taking Restoril and now it’s not working . Was it hard to adjust with Gavapentin ? Help it’s working for you . Sleepless nights are so difficult .😞

Lorazepam works very well for sleep. Klonopin didn't work for sleep for me either.... Have you ever tried Unisom? It's over the counter and works pretty good. Ingredient is Doxylamine Succinate

Took trazodone many years ago. But, I can't remember why I stopped it - most likely some side effect.
Assume you mean gabapentin? Never got on gabapentin myself, although my oncologist recommended it because of nerve issues during/after cancer/chemo. The nerve pain was more numbness than painful so I didn't.
Wife used it for a while to reduce nerve pain before she had back surgery.
I'm finding that every med I used for sleep purposes has eventually caused some side effects - mainly feeling like a mental zombie.
Good luck in finding something that works (and stays working) that doesn't mess you up with side-effects.
