I took Klonopin in really weird , but prescribed , ways but it never helped me with anxiety. When I say weird I mean the regimen was like “0.5 pill every other day for a week. Then 0.5 pill once every day for a week, then 1mg pill every other day thereafter. “ I never understood it really. However, It did make me drowsy though.

I remember it is considered long acting compared to others such as Ativan of Xanax. I hope you find it helpful for you. No medicine comes without its concerns , especially controlled substances , about dependence or abuse— but when taken as prescribed with a knowledgeable doctor, I think the dependence and abuse potential become less of a struggle. Long time use is a nuanced and controversial thing — but no one deserves to suffer. If it’s beneficial, perhaps it’s worth the risks associated.
