Hi!

>Efficacy is only 12 hours (unfortunately) so *it is not proportional with half-life.*

That applies to most drugs, particularly in short-term use, there are other factors which affect duration of action as well as half-life.

Anyway, based on the half-life of clonazepam, it would make sense to dose it 2-3 times a day. Giving it as a single daily dose would produce large fluctuations in the plasma concentration.

Best regards,
Ed.

PS. Just out of interest, what country are you from?
