Hi Lorraine,
I usually take .5 to 1 mg at bedtime. Lately it's been wearing off around 3 am so I take .5 mg at bedtime and .5 mg at 3 am. I also take it as needed during the daytime, occasionally .25 mg or 1 mg, usually .5 mg, it depends on the situation. A prescription of forty-five 1mg tablets is supposed to last me at least a month but it usually lasts 1 1/2 to 2 months, depending on how I'm feeling. I notice absolutely no cognitive dulling and absolutely no sexual side effects. Sometimes I think it might unmask depressed feelings covered by anxiety, but that's the worst I can say about it. I'm really sensitive to medication side effects, but I've been completely happy with Klonopin. Moreover, when I don't need it I just quit taking it and have never had any withdrawal problems at all. It doesn't make me feel good or even relaxed, exactly; it just reduces the physical sensations associated with anxiety and agitation. Of course, YMMV.
Dinah
PS - I don't find the generic version as effective.
