ladyturkey217 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 so I've been given Klonopin to take "as needed" for anxiety and sleep issues. I am in an extremely stressful time right now between work, seeing people from my past that I've not seen for a while, my f'ing 29th birthday (ugh, how did THAT happen?!), and the upcoming appointment to get my stupid wisdom teeth out. (that one is a big deal bc i have SEVERE dentist related anxiety- I've had to be sedated by a doctor in the hospital bc of panic attacks at the dentist- yay). Anyhoo- the point of all this gab is that i find that i want to take a pill every night, i almost never take one during the day unless it's a dentist appointment or something. Is that too much? I just have to make it through the next 3 weeks of insurmountable stress- but people keep talking about dependency and it scares the pants off me! thoughts?

confused Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't know how much is too much, but I was prescribed 1 mg klonopin to take every night and I didn't have any problems coming off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetkat Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Think of whatever the script says as the max. Like if it says twice a day - you can take two, etc.. Doesn't matter when, just take it when you feel the need. Of course if you don't need the second, you don't have to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowen Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I took Klonopin twice daily for threeish months, and I stopped without issue. There are people who have taken a benzo daily for years and are fine. No worries. Just let your doc know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveyoursanity Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 There are people who have taken a benzo daily for years and are fine. That would be me. I haven't noticed any problems besides some tolerance. I'm down to taking 2mgs of klonopin every 3 days, roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
