Wonderful.Cheese Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Well I know I’m not the “calmest” or “least anxious” person in the world. Yikes. BUT, I really sometimes feel that my noon dose of Klonopin could be PRN. So I’d take 1 mg AM and MAYBE 1 mg noon and 1 mg late evening. My big issue with the afternoon dose is that I don’t want it to make me tired. It doesn’t always but sometimes I wonder if it does. I had been taking daily 1.5 mg successfully after decreasing my daily dose from 3 mg years ago. Well anxiety slammed me semi recently and Pdoc upped my dose back to 3 mg. To be honest sometimes I do skip my noon Klonopin 1mg dose. And I don’t want to become dependent on a high dose. I’d probably have to take the noon dose maybe 1-7 (if times were rough) times a week. Is this even worth it? And I find myself pretty anxious by late evening. Evenings are my most difficult times. Maybe I could split the evening dose? (0.5 mg noon, 0.5 mg evening) There’s an idea! Am I lying to myself and just take the damn pill? Or do I bring this up to Pdoc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeschmee Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 ∆ I agree. That's one not to mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb84 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I take 1mg in the AM and sometimes 1mg before sleep. It doesn't make me tired, but it keeps me from getting over stimulated when I'm in a noisy area or around a lot of people. I think my Dr. wants to have me try and get off of it. She's worried about my health since I've been on it for almost 10 years. I'm worried about it like you. Definitely ask your Dr. about it. The withdrawal is nothing to mess around with.

Wonderful.Cheese Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Ok I will definitely ask my pdoc about this. I see her in like 20 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb84 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Doesn't the wait suck? My brother is very successful, unlike me and he can get into his Dr. whenever he wants. $150 a pop for him is pocket change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
