I have a prescription for Klonopin because I get very anxious and have trouble sleeping sometimes. I've found myself in this state I'm in taking it more frequently. Not even to the full dose I'm prescribed, which is .5 once a day, but more PRN because I've not often taken it every day for a while.

Could this be making me worse? I have a bipolar friend who thinks the sedative effect might now be such a good idea. I know I was so agitated yesterday but after I took a half of one I felt much more able to just cope with being in my own skin.

Was wondering about other's experiences with benzos.
