i dont think you are supposed to feel too much from taking klon. thats why i like it and i think thats why some ppl hate it. for me if i take my dose as prescribed and very consistently as i do, i do not feel anything "kick in" or feel "immediate relief." that type of feeling is associated with faster acting benzos and they are considered easier to get addicted to. i think its because you actually feel a noticeable change. you shift in some way, from where you were to where you are under medication. on klonopin you are much more steady and even as far as how you feel. i have been taking it mono therapy, after several tries with multiple medications they finally just prescribed klon by itself. your name is football, so you may be a bigger person, in which case i dont know if that could affect your dosage, im guessing so. i am very small. so your dosage may be low. ive read of others taking 8+mg daily and i take b/w 1.5-2mg daily.
the thing is there is no wonder drug. i feel very anxious not only at the present but every day, but i know how felt pre-klon and i know that the med is working. maybe give it some time to see how you feel in the longer run?
lately i have had a co of suggestions to get a shorter acting benzo's but have been resistant. i am in no way anti benzo but i dont know about that, i am doing good on klon.
