What time of day do people take Klonopin dose/s?

Posted by Jackster on April 7, 2003, at 19:45:50

Just want to get an idea of how long a dose lasts for other people.

Thanks
Jackie

Hi again.

I take mine before bed to stop night-waking. It's pretty effective (sometimes too much so). Also to augment Lamictal. Because of its long half-life, I don't get any daytime withdrawal. I know about it if I miss a dose though...

I take an a.m. dose and a p.m. dose(totally dependant upon how much sleep I've gotten and food I've eaten so it varies day to day or week to week the exact times I take the doses but I do try to take the a.m. and the p.m. at least eight hours apart) along with my other medications. I try not to miss one but do become quite aware when I haven't had one dose.

My 1 mg dose seems to last about 12 hrs. Taking it before bed didn't work, because it wore off by the middle of the next day. So, I tried divided doses 4X/day, then 2X/day, for a short while, and that was OK. The sedation etc. wore after a couple of weeks, and now I just take the full 1 mg first thing every morning, with no side effects.

I take 0.25-0.50 mg Xanax as well if things are really stressful, but this is pretty sporadic -- maybe once or twice a week on average. It adds to the anxiety relief, and mixes well with K, again with no discernable side effects.

I take 1mg of Klonopin in the morning with no side effects. I also take 1mg of Xanax for panic or high anxiety when needed. Works great.

Hi Jackie:-)
I take 2 mg of Klonopin at bedtime, and 1mg PRN in the day.

Hiya,

I have been on Klonopin for almost a month now.
I started off taking .25 at bedtime and now have moved up to
12.5 at 10 am as well.
I know, I am a weenie, but will be increasing to .25 2x a day.
the .25 night dose, I feel it wearing off in the morning.
I am just taking this slowly.
It's working as a MS for me!

? anyone lost weight on this? It has killed my appetite.
