I wanted to go to sleep but it just wasn't gonna happen. So I was prescribed some klonopin and one of my friends said it would knock me right out.

So around 3:45am I took 1 mg of Klonopin. About 10 mins later it's already hitting me. I feel kind of drowsy. Kind of floaty. When I move everything is in slow motion. Since I think cigarettes might decrease the effectiveness of the drug I'm restraining myself from the cancer sticks.

I feel like I'm on a cruise ship. Like I know or think I know everything is stable and not moving. But when I get up to walk my knees buckle and I find I've lost some sense of balance. I also have a headache creeping up behind my eyes. I haven't ingested any alcohol or other drugs. I thought I could take this to go to sleep but it has become an adventure.

My body feels like jello and when I sit up I get a big head rush. Everything is just really slow. This is a serious drug that I have been prescribed by my doctor for bipolar tendencies.

So 20 mins later I can't see straight and writing my symptoms is bumming me out. I'm gonna go on an adventure!

------

OK I made it about 3 or 4 feet and had to return to bed. Balance is absent. No visuals other than blurred vision. I want to make some toast but I'm afraid of the stairs I have to go down to get to the food. My motor skills in general are vanishing. If typing wasn't second nature for me I don't think I could have shared this experience.

30 mins later I'm getting tired but very floaty. I feel the need for a bowl of the green but since that isn't on hand I'm opting for toast. I'll be right back.

------

So the stairs were a challenge and I did end up smoking a cig. It's about 4:45am. I seriously suggest that if anyone else tries this they should not drive. It's been about 45 mins and I can feel it slowly decreasing. Drinking is not recommended also. This is very chill. Instead of drinking alcohol I suggest spinning around in circles in a large room or outside where there's no chance of you falling and breaking something. I have had no scary experiences, no mind altering psychotic problems. I think it really is just a good way to chill out at home.

5am I'm getting very sleepy finally. This drug is totally a body high. My mental capacity is to focus very hard on typing and not falling over into a deep deep slumber. I plan on trying this another time when I'm not so tired. Until then, Goodnight. 5:10am
