I'd like to get another klonopin prescription when I can stand to deal with the medical/mental health establishment again. I'm hoping I can get .25 mg tablets. I'm very sensitive to substances and can't take a high dose of anything.

Mist,You mentioned .25mg tablets-that's what I would like to get. I don't think they make them that small (I thought scored .5mg tabs were the smallest). I feel better just taking .25mg at bedtime on a regular basis instead of .5mg (definitely has lifted some of the depression). However, I just need a 1/4 tablet sometimes during the day (.125mg-PRN basis), and it's a hassle to have to do the tablet microsurgery-especially when the stuff is so cheap anyhow. I still get a good anti-anxiety effect with just a 1/4 tab.
Does anybody know if .25mg tabs are being made nowadays? I can ask my pharmacist today I suppose.
