I've been taking Klonopin for almost 14 years. To begin with, it certainly never gave me "instant bliss". I took it for anxiety, and I think that it's helped, along with psychotherapy. I've never taken more than 1mg. I can't attribute my poor memory to Klonopin because I've had a lousy memory since I was a kid. I don't think it has an effect on my mood.

As others have said, everyone is different.
