I started a little over a year ago by taking 1 mg before bed. However, the anti-anxiety effects wore off by mid-morning, so I changed to 0.25 mg 4X/day, and quickly moved to 0.5 mg 2X/day. For the first couple of weeks (with these divided doses) I had some sleepiness and clumsiness, but this soon subsided. Then I shifted to taking it once a day -- 1 mg in the morning. This has worked fine for the last year or so without any side effects or problems, and keeps my anxiety under control very successfully. I do take Xanax (0.25-0.50 mg) occasionally as well for very stressful situations, but rarely need it -- K is very effective for me.
