I don't take it. Sorry. But, enjoy the anxiety free time while you have it.

I normally take just one 0.5 mg. If you take more than your prescribed dose you can become addicted, that's what my doc told me.

I was prescribed a half or whole one 3 x a day.The half does ok but It took a little long to kick in.So I just tried the whole one and wow it is back to the half for me.LOL

I was on Klonopin and felt like that drooling idiot. I now take Ativan which your body metabolises faster so I don't have that groggy feeling all the time. Just the chill...

i take Ativan it calms u down without the drool and your able to do your day to day things i also carry the ativan sub lingual with me in case im out and need something to work fast and it does in under 5 min for me

yeah I am on 1mg 2x a day and then two at bedtime. They are a God send for me.

I took that with Lamictal and it had no effect on me at all. It did though after I was off the evil drug. It was evil to me not others.

I can have ,5 up to 3 times a day at at least 2 hour interverals. They take the edge off things but hen I am really depressed they do nothing. I can drive on them.

I take 1/2 of a .5 mg pill 4 times a day... I just notice no anxiety...and that the pills are really soft and crumble in my pill cutter...lol

i know for me, i did not know, but now that i am on this group i realize how much my anxiety was part of the BP diagnosis. I had no clue.

when i told my pdoc about my anxiety on 250 depakote and 60 cymbalta, she said she could up thecmbalta to 90 instead of giving me klonopin or xanex.

I am just learning, through this group, how much anxiety is part of the BP diagnosis. Id that the mania or the manic or the hypomania?

I take 0.5 mg 3x a day. My body is used to it, no drooling lol. I was trying larger doses in the past but I did have the sleepy out of it feeling and had to take a medical leave until I got all my meds adjusted. I don't worry about addiction per say.... I know I need it to fight the severe anxiety I was having. Like a diabetic needs insuline, I need my klonopin for now. If I was habitually taking larger doses and more frequently than perscribed, then I would worry.

Prescription 0.5mg 4x a day, ha ha. I take as many as I need, some days more, some less. Today so far 1.5mg. but i know i'm gonna need much more. I'll take um to they knock me out if i have to today. damn pdoc won't give xanax, its addictive. ha, ha, what a ya think klonopin is. i think i need ativan, maybe its worth a try. klonopin for sleep, thats a joke, i take lunesta too and keep waking up all night. i think a hammer over the head would work better.

i had no clue. I just kept telling the medical professionals, "I don't know what's going on. I can't open my mail, look at papers, get teh mail out of the mailbox, answer the phone, listen to voice messages, open myemail. Sounds bother me. I had to turn off my phone ringer."

Was i a walking billboard for BP or what?

I am prescribed up to 2mg/day, as needed. Today, I needed 2mg before Noon! LOL

Seriously, if I am getting manic or having a panic attack, or just can't sleep, I take the full 2mg. Otherwise, I try not to use it. I normally average 2mg/day over a month.

I LOVE KLONOPIN! My life would be a crazy, anxiety-filled, horrific mess without it!

Love,
Wendy

One fourth to one half of the lowest dose (0.5 mg tablet) without mania - one half to a whole 0.5 mg tablet with mania.
