Klonopin at bedtime for next day's anxiety?

Posted by chess on November 16, 2004, at 7:39:28

I have panic attacks and GAD, and 1mg Klonopin in the morning sedates me, so I've been trying .5mg at bedtime and .5mg in the morning to try and reduce the sedation, but my doc told me that taking Klonopin at bedtime will only work for me while I'm sleeping but not for the next day's anxiety because even though Klonopin's half-life is more than 24 hours its duration of action from when ingested is only around 8 hours, so he says only a dose taken in the morning will help with my daytime anxiety.

Anybody find taking Klonopin at bedtime works through for their next day's anxiety? Or is my doc right and a bedtime dose of Klonopin is only good for getting a good night's sleep?
