Guest Burman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Can anyone tell me how long Klonopin is effective, or lasts, before I take my next dose? I currently take it 3 times a day and would like to cut it down to twice a day. I take 1mg around 8:00 am, .5mg at 2:00 pm and .5mg at 8:00 pm. I've been taking Klonopin daily for 3 years now. I titerated down from 6mg daily by cutting down .5mg every week, as recommended by my new pdoc. I had no withdraw symptoms. The lower dosage of 2mg daily still helps my anxiety. I didn't develop a tolerance, but my pdoc kept increasing my dose to 6mg daily. I think that's way too much. BTW, I have a new pdoc who doesn't hand out benzo's like candy. Thanks in advance for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I initially took my Klonopin (1 mg.) at 6AM, noon, 5PM, and 9PM. Then my pdoc felt I wasn't getting enough but didn't want to overmedicate, so she changed it to 2 mg. when I got to work (ca. 6:30 AM), then both the noon and 5PM were changed to 1 mg. PRN, and finally 2 mg. at 9PM (my early bedtime -- pdoc really strict about sleep hygiene). I rarely take the PRN unless I have a big meeting or a public speaking obligation.
