Brief Answer:
Yes you can sleep well and discuss with your doctor for dose alteration.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

Yes these medicine will help you sleep at night. If the new medicine is making you sleep till noon, you should meet your doctor as soon as possible for dose alteration.

As you said it is best to get off the medicines. Getting off Klonipin can cause some withdrawal symptoms as you are using it for 12 years. But Do Not Worry. Your doctor will taper the dose in such a way that you will be able to get off the medicine as smoothly as possible.

I would suggest you to discuss this with your treating doctor.

I hope this answered your query.
