For me a "normal dose" was 1mg of diclazapam which is said to be roughly equivalent to 10mg of diazepam. And equivalency charts show 10mg of diazepam has the strength of .125mg of clonazolam or .5mg of alprazolam. So no, it shouldn't knock you out. The main difference here is the half life. Diclazapam(and diazepam) have half lives of around 80-100hrs so it will stay in your system much longer than the other two.

That's why it's so great for withdrawals, but seeing as that's not what you're concerned about it doesn't really matter. Clonazolam is one of, if not the strongest benzo(imo) available right now. I can't know what dosages of clonazolam or other benzos you've used so I couldn't give you a proper dosage of diclaz.

As for recreational value, I have yet to find any, and I've taken upwards of 5mg at a time, trying to get that benzo high. At that point you definitely feel it, but it's not like 5mg of alprazolam at all. Definitely more subtle. You kind of have to know what you're looking for with the high of diclazapam. For example, if u was having a happy, productive day and I took 1mg, I probably wouldnt really be able to tell. If I had been anxious, sitting in the dark all day and took 1mg, I'd notice the effects. It's hard to put the feeling into words if you know what I mean.
