In reply to Klonopin and dosage, posted by scottc1344 on January 24, 2004, at 19:26:27
Yes, I am taking 4mg-5mg daily for four years. I take it in divide dosages spread thoughout the day to lessen the side effects. My side effects are at times forgetfulness, lessen cognitive skills, poor concentration, etc. It also seemed to bring on low level depression, but not major depression. Basically, I do not learn new things as fast at work or school, and it mentally slows me down. But I can still learn stuff it just takes me longer. In the begining when I was at that dosage it made me very sleepy, but that effect wore off over time. On the the hand it is extremely effective for my Panic Disorder, and Social phobia. That's why I recently started Nardil, so that I can reduce or even elimnate my Klonopin. I do have to add that people have taken this dosage (or higher), for longer period of time than me, and do not suffer from the side effects that I have experienced. Hope this helps.
