I take klonopin (it's the same type of med) for tremors and anxiety every day. My neuro prescribed 1 mg twice a day but I only take one in the morning. It lasts longer than Ativan (about 6 to 8 hours). |
Klonopin (least the Canadian version) has an extremely long half life.
I wish I didn't have to take it daily. I break the .5 mg tablets in half and take 1 half 3 times daily. I tried decreasing to 2, but I had breakthrough pain and had to go back up to 3 halves daily.
I don't like to take it regularly, but I've faced the facts - it helps, nothing else did, so I'll continue on it (.75mg daily isn't such a large dose anyways).
