Hi karilann,

I don't smoke, never have but I do use Klonopin

I have used it for 7 years and it is one of the very few medications I can tolerate with few side effects. My rx is 1mg 3x a day but my doctor knows I use it on an as needed basis. I have, at times, taken the prescribed dosage for a month or more. How I use it depends on why I am taking it at that time.

I use Klonopin for an anxiety disorder as well as panic attacks. For MS I have found Klonopin helpful for spasticity, tremors and sometimes pain. However, I did find at 6mg my legs became jello

You can cut your 1mg pill in half. Klonopin can make you sleepy but that can decrese with use. In my case, sometimes I get very tired with Klonopin and other times I actually have more energy...go figure.

Since Klonopin can make you tired I would suggest not driving after taking it until you see how it effects you.
