What dose are you taking? I always try to work through my panic attacks naturally first, but I do take klonopin for those instances when I cannot overcome the attack. I only take half a 0.5mg tablet usually and it does take away the anxiety, but I have never taken it just for the general anxiety. It doesn't tend to make me tired - just relaxed - although I take a very small dose.

I take 1 mg. that's what the dr game me im going to ask for a smaller dose on monday

It takes some time to get use to.I would take half the dose and see if its easier to tolarate,tell you can talk to your doc.

So, you took 2 pills at once? I take one pill .5 mg and it takes about an hour to kick in and relieve the anxiety. Do you have any relief yet?

this stuff is strong i cant belive they started you on such a high dose. i have been taking it for two years now i have sever anxiety dissorter ptsd and borderline personality dissorter and i take .5mg i think 1mg would make anyone tiered and dizzy,..lol but you should altumatly discuss your conserns with your dr

Smaller dose ould probably be better..I take .75 mg at night to help with
sleep and it knocks me out for a good 9 or 10 hours [ and Ive been on
it for a long time] ..0.5mg would probably be better at first. The advantage of Klonopin is it stays in your system about 12 hours but it
does take up to an hour to work. If you want something to stop a panic
attack in about 20 -25 minutes, try Ativan. It works quickly but only lasts
3 or 4 hours.

I take it, it knocks me out, makes me feel very out of it... but at least for the time being I dont worry about useless things and anxiety. I only take it when I really need it.

I have panic attacks and seizures so this is the only way whyI would think she should start me out on such a high dose.

they said they would call me Monday to further explain the medication to me

I like it and have been on it for ten years. The only med that has been consistant for working with me and the anxiety. Hope that makes you feel better.
