In reply to I think this Klonopin actually WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!, posted by spriggy on November 8, 2005, at 18:43:17
Spriggy, I am so happy for you. What a relief to be rid of the horrible gnawing anxiety and fear. I take .5mg a day also although I'm supposed to be taking at least .75. (I'm as scare of it as you are)
It made such a difference. I did start at a higher dosage, went to a lower dosage and now take .5 each morning. The only thing it doesn't help with is the waking up scared in the morning.
Anyway, I'm so glad you found some relief.
