Klonopin once-a-day for GAD?

Posted by chess on August 7, 2004, at 7:51:18

Instead of taking Klonopin 2 or 3 times a day for GAD, I've been finding that taking it once-a-day works all day for my GAD (but not for my panic).

Anyone else find that just one daily dose of Klonopin works all day for their GAD?

It has been so long since taking Rivotril
for GAD (it may even have been for bipolar)
that I cannot remember whether GAD went away.
But I have been taking it once a day for more
than 17 yrs. now I think.

For acute panic, anxiety, whatever its cause,
Xanax works very fast but lasts only 2 hours at
peak, having a much shorter half-life than
Klonopin.

So, if you need something for immediate
panic attacks, Xanax and another (faster one)
is best, imho.
