Hi, it didn't work at all for me for the first 2 weeks, was ready to go back to valium, but when it "kicked in" it really worked well, with my ocd it even made obsessive thoughts less intrusive.
I started at 1.5 mgs., 4 years later i am only on 2-2.5 a day, it does have addiction potential, but people like my cousin with epilepsy go as high as 20 mgs. sometimes.i have also read that it is nuero-protective, one doctor said of all his older patients on klonopin, none ever developed alzheimers or parkinsons disease. i dont know about that, but i highly recommend klonopin, although 2 mgs. would make you drowsy if taken all at once, best maybe at bedtime, that is when i take most of mine, only 0.5 during the day, with prozac...john
