Donna:
When I have taken klonopin during the day it did make me a little foggy headed. I will on rare occation take a small dose if I'm going to get on a plane or have something real stressful, but otherwise just stick to my bedtime dose. But I suspect that once a day/bedtime dosing works for me because I'm taking a larger dose and may not for those taking less than 1mg, but?
I don't think I'd be to conserned about your past drug issues and the use of klonopin to treat anxiety. People that have anxiety disorters are not know to abuse benzos/escalate dose. There's no real high with it, at least not for most people and most the sedation and other side effects go away in time.
As far as how long it takes EMSAM to work I suspect full theraputic benenfits don't come until your on it 6 to 8 weeks, though I got an immediate possitive response which got better as the weeks have gone by. I'm 6 weeks on EMSAM now.
Sounds like you've got a good start. Perhaps the slight klonopin adjustment will help. I think it's a good strategy.
