i take anywhere from 10-40 mg at a time, only take them ONCE! ALL AT ONE TIME is the ONLY way to get a good high! one after another once your high does NOTHING its just a waste! just like most downers like heroine, one of my other favorite drugs of choice. no tolerance? start at 3-4 mg. if you do, try 5-10 mg depending on your tolerance and desire to get high! klonopin is TWICE as strong as xanax, just extended release but stilll stronger. i get tired after less than 5 mgs, if you take more, you have no choice but to stay up even if your blacked out.
