Hi:
Klonopin isn't really a good benzo to give PRN only, since it's not fast acting, but has a longer half-life than other benzo's.
It's much more effective used in a small dose, continuously, IMO.
It takes about 45 mins to have an effect on me. I don't suddenly feel calm. I gradually mellow down.
But when I take the same amount at the same time each day, I feel calm all the time.
I only take .25mg-.5mg per day. My best dosing arrangement was .25mg at lunch time and another .25mg around 8 or 9pm. I kinda felt a steady-state anti- anxiety result. The downside for me at that amount/timing, was that I found it difficult to rouse in the morning.I have also found that dissolving under the tongue to work much quicker.
Good luck!
Jas
