Since Klonopin only seems to last (for me) for about six hours in terms of social phobia protection, I would find it hard to believe taking it once a day is optimal. Also taking this large a dose at once I would think would really dope me out.
I am new to Klonopin and trying to fumble my way toward discovering an effective dosage for me. Since I am also starting Wellbutrin (third week) this has been a challenge. I see my doc this week, wondering what to tell her. My dosage now is 1.5 mg a day, which I take 1 mg in the morning and .5 mg around 2 PM, although tonight for some reason I had to take an extra .5 in the evening - maybe the Wellbutrin is starting to kick in and make me more anxious. It is all so confusing. I think I will ask for more Clonopin when I see her.
