I know Klonopin has a very long half-life but for me it only works for 5 hours (I don't understand why). Nickguy for how long does it work for you?
So I take .5 mg of Klonopin like 3 times a day (or 4 if I can't sleep). I've never gotten any seizures for stopping it, I've been taking it for a couple of years now. Yes if you stop it for awhile it will work again in many cases. The longer the better. For me the minimum seems to be like 5 days. For me Klonopin with Effexor both help my depression and anxiety. The stimulants help that too when I have to take a 5 day break from Klonopin. Unlike some lucky people I can only take the stimulants for a few days before they wear off. But they help me get through the 5 days which would be horrible without any med help.
