Everyone is different. When my anxiety was at it's worst, p/doc had me on 2mg / 4x day. That lasted about 4 months. I've been on clonazepam for the past 20 years at 0.5mg 2x/day. Sometimes I've raised that dose to 3 or 4 times a day.
I believe it has mild mood stabilizing qualities and less of an up and down feeling as compared to zanax or ativan, for me!I have tapered down and stopped several times with no problem but keep in mind I've always been on A/D's as well.
I've found it helps drastically for start-up anxiety as well, when switching A/D's. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 for anxiety related treatment, 20 years now, I better think highly of it!
Best, Rick
