> Klonopin produces a sedative effect for about the first 8 weeks you take it. This will wear off. But you are on a relatively high dose. I took 0.5 mgs/morning and 1 mg/night for a couple years for anxiety. That amount worked well. Some days I only took 0.25 mgs in the morning.

AMY BLUE,
i noticed you said you were on Klonipin for a few
years? well, i am also, and the same amount as
you, but i feel now is the time i can stop using it. but i am so
afraid of withdrawl. did you slowly taper your
dosage, and if so, by how much and at what amounts?
did you have any trouble getting off? any help or
info will be greatly appreciated. thanx
