I am on Klonopin 1mg twice daily for my Panic disorder (I've been taking it for over two years now). I was slowly brought up to this dose due to the fact Klonopin is so addictive. My best advice to you is to start out slowly - one in the morning, and if you still feel anxious, take another 6 hours later, and the recommended two at bedtime. .5mg is the lowest dose, but it seems your doc is unsure how he wants to start you out, and I'd hate to see you get addicted unnecessarily.

Klonopin takes time to build up in your system just like any other AD/mood stabilizer. I have done very well on Klonopin for my social anxiety, but my doctor was wise to start me slowly - .5mg/day and working up to the 2mg/day I'm at now. If titrated right, you should be able to the much needed relief from your anxiety.
