Anxiety
"I have been taking Klonopin for 5-6 years now. I think it is a wonder drug and I couldn&#039;t function without it. I have (social) anxiety disorder with a history of panic attacks many years ago. I generally take 0.25mg one to four times a day (as needed) and 0.5mg before bed as it helps me sleep. I cut my scored 0.5mg pills in half. My doctor has prescribed 2mg/day but I rarely exceed 1.5mg total and probably only average 1-1.25mg. In all the time I&#039;ve taken it, I&#039;ve never had a desire to increase it because it simply &quot;works&quot; and makes me feel 100% normal with no side effects. I took Valium (diazepam) for many years but I always felt anxious as it was wearing off and before taking more. Klonopin doesn&#039;t have that effect on me probably because of the long half-life and the way I space it out. I fully expect to take it for the rest of my life."
