> Zena, how much klonopin are you taking and when do you take it?

> I've just started klonopin. .5mg once nightly for sp. Cant understand why i should take it at night, cause i already sleep well. How does taking it at night help with sp?

> Are you saying that for it to be effective, that you need to take it on a regular basis so it builds up in your system to feel the full effects? (like anti-depresants do)?

> Please respond Im really confused. I am not feeling any benifet from klonopin at all. Ive been on it for 6 days.

> Hi Adam,
I will try to answer your questions. I have anxiety/depression. The klonopin keeps my anxiety under control. I am currently on 1 mg. I take 1/2 a.m.& the other 1/2 around 5:00 P.M. Yes, it has to build up in your system but it keeps it at a even level unlike xanax. I was having to take it every 4 hrs. It's instant unlike klonopin but the Dr. thought it was best for me to switch to klonopin. I haven't had any problems with it.Yes, you have to take it on a regular basis. I don't know why you would have to take it at night if your not having problems sleeping. That's something you would have to ask your Dr. I am also on 10mg. lexapro & 15mg. remeron which helps me sleep.
