> For the first couple of weeks that I took K, I was a bit drowsy, forgetful, and clumsy -- nothing too serious, but I did notice it. I tried various dosing schedules (always sticking to 1 mg/day); first 1 mg before bed, then 0.25 mg 4X/day, then 0.5 mg 2X/day. The side effects went away pretty quickly, and I settled on 1 mg all at once in the morning. I haven't experienced any side effects at all since the first couple of weeks.
Hi viridisI am finding it a bit difficult to set the right dose of klonopin.
What is the difference from taking a complete dose once a day (say morning) and half that dose twice a day?. Will taking the split dose give a more stable amount of the drug during the day?.
I am trying to take 2 1/4 .5mg dose/day. Sometimes I feel it is too much (maybe I am still not accustomed to it), but cutting a .5mg pill in eight parts is impossible. So maybe taking 1/4 .5 mg in the morning is enough and if I really need it I could add another 1/4.
>However, if I don't take it for a day, I feel very anxious --
that is bad, so it is better to take some pills with you...
thanks
