Klonopin & Gabapentin for sleep

Just wanted to comment in this thread, because I may have Klonopin induced insomnia, oddly enough. It’s given to me by trained staff at 6 PM and 7 AM daily, 1mg each time. The problem with getting it at 6 PM is I do fall asleep, before 8 PM, and I usually wake up around 1 or 2 AM. Getting back to sleep after that is hard. Last night I just stayed up all the way from 2 AM until daylight.
Unfortunately, in my living situation staff goes home at 6:30 PM, and they don’t trust me to keep my own Klonopin. We’ve yet to work out a solution to this.

I'm wondering if maybe a time release pill safe might be helpful? They have them where you can set it to unlock at a certain time. Your caregiver could leave your nightly pill in the safe and set it to open at the time you wish to go to sleep. They can be expensive but might be worth if it helps you keep your wanted sleep schedule. They have them on Amazon and I'm sure some medical equipment suppliers may have them also.

Interesting you mentioned about not being trusted with your own Klonopin. What are they(psychiatric personal) doing about this??
