I am trying not to take my klonopin too much. It was prescribed to me as a PRN as needed. What are some signs that it is time to take it versus whether I should fight the anxiety and cope with it without using it?

I went from taking it 4x weekly to cutting down to 2-3x per week. Today I have a pit in my stomach and get a feeling in my chest here and there, so I decided to take it. Sometimes I wonder if I should just fight it and cope, but maybe I should just take it. I also use klonopin to try to take the edge off of some of the Bipolar symptoms, like agitation or problems sitting still due to feeling on the manicky side.

For those of you on klonopin, what are the early signs that you notice that makes you decide it is time to take it? Do you take it immediately when you start feeling the anxiety or wait a few hours to see if it starts to go away?
