I take .5 mg in the AM and 1.0 mg at bedtime. It helps me to go to sleep and to have a peaceful sleep. Before I used to awaken in the night with some panic. When I was on Xanax, one pill wouldn't hold me though the night.
According to the charts, the half life of Klonopin is 20 - 60 hours so the efficacy should be at least half that; meaning that taking it twice daily should be more than sufficient. I have been taking it for 2 years and no longer get drowsiness from it in the daytime.
Therapuetic dosages typically run from 3 - 5 mg/day. I have reducem mine to the above over time but I also take 30 mg of Buspar daily.
