I have taken Klonopin .5mg once or twice a day for anxiety. At first (maybe 10days) I felt slightly sedated, after that, for a further week, I had just a "low energy" feeling. All that has stopped and I found I only needed .5mg per day to deal with my anxiety. I did not develop a tolerance to it as an anti-anxiety med. If it is helping your anxiety, try to stick with it. Maybe one dose of .5mg will be sufficient for you ??Apparently, if you are using it as a sleeping medication, you are more likely to need to increase the dose over time to sleep ( as with most sleeping pills, which are usually only to be used for a short period of time, for that reason).
I have seen people here state that they have used the same low dose of Klonopin for years without having to increase the dose!
Good luck :)
