> Glydin, how much did you take and when did you take it?
At my peak use, I was at 1 mg per day, divided AM and PM. That was at the very beginning and for around the first 6 months. I maintained on .5 mgs per day, again divided .25 mgs. AM and PM for the remainder of my time on. Take into account, I'm a small person and am below the average size for alot of folks, so my dose may seem low by some standards. Most resources cite 2-4 mgs. per day for the average dosage required for anxiety control. If used for seizure control, the doses are higher than the 2-4 mgs. range. Also, some divide dosing more than twice per day even with the long halflife Klonopin has and find that works best for them.
Good Luck. I suggest giving it a little bit of time to see how you will do and keep in good communication with your doc.
If I can help you further, I'll be glad to in any way I am able. Just post to this thread as I don't come here as often as I once did.
