Hi, John. No, I take 1 mg 3 times a day: morning, noon, and night. My psychdoc mentioned that this will better maintain the steady-state plasma levels of klonopin, minimizing some of the cognitive side effects which occur when levels rise and fall, such as with the shorter-acting benzo's.

See you.
