I take klonopin every night and have for years. Doses ranging from 1 to 3mgs. On occation I take .25 to .5 during the day (before a flight, things like that).
I don't have any trouble excersizing, but I'm not sedated from during the day from my night dose (which is enough to get me through the day). After a while with regular use there doesn't seem to be any side affects for me. I just feel normal, though at times I wonder if I get a little depressed.
As far as withdrawls, yes, if you want to get off it you can't quit cold turkey. But you can taper down if you ever want off. I've done it before and drop by .25 every week or so.
I've tried it as needed, but it didn't work as well for me. Pluse I didn't care for the doses during the day.
By far klonopin has helped more with anxiety than any other drug. I've tried pretty much all of them except MAOI's.
If prn basis works, great. If not you may want to consider taking it daily. All I can say is before I took it years ago I was practically house bound. Now I own a business and a home.
Good luck!
