I was recently prescribed .5mg of Clonazepam for anxiety. It is instructed to be taken "One tablet by mouth twice a day as needed". What I've found is that .5mg doesn't effect me much (even though I have 0 tolerance built up to any Benzos) - I know that 1mg doses are also available. My question is if I take 1 dose a day (2x.5MG tablets) in the morning, will that be more effective throughout the day, or is it better to spread them out and take 1 in the morning and 1 at night? While I feel a slight effect o the .5, it's not getting the job done for the anxiety and I'd like something stronger. I am also concerned about dosage because of what I've been seeing online about the terrible withdrawals, so I don't want to abuse this drug or use it "to get high". I will discuss the possibility of upping my daily dose to 2 times a day at 1mg. My next appointment is set for 1 month. Just wondering what your thoughts are - I know 1MG is safe to take so I'm not so concerned with the safety of taking 1MG at once, more interested in maximizing its effectiveness throughout the day. (ex: if it's 1MG to my system all at once, am I going to feel more relaxed throughout the day). Given its long half-life I'm not exactly sure how this works in detail but I know it stays in your system for quite a while. I realize everyone is different, but any opinions on this would be helpful. I may just have a high natural tolerance to these. If anything needs to be clarified just let me know. Clonazepam and Wellbutrin were prescribed for Anxiety issues due to recent occurrences in my life that caused anxiety to skyrocket, and I am generally anxious and tend to overthink everything, otherwise no depression or any other type of issues.
