I'm on a 0.5 mg dose a day - twice a day - with the doctor's blessing to take one if I feel the onset of an anxiety or panic attack. However, she recommended I take a half of one if this happens. I've been on it for almost three weeks.
I've had no issues with it - the drowsiness effect, for me, is similar to taking a relatively mild cold remedy.
I have been taking this for about a week. Originally I was on .5 mg. of xanax, but that didn't work for me, i think because I wasn't having anxiety "attacks", rather a non-stop physical & mental feeling of dread & fear. Clonazapam has really made a difference. The dosage is .5mg & I can take 2.5 or the whole tablet. I've read others on these boards who say they feel a major difference within 15 mins of taking it. For me it takes about an hour. I asked my Dr. & she said that it usually does take about an hour to have an effect. My anxiety is gone for the entire day with this medication. I have no side effects.

Reason: forgot to add about side effects
I take it As needed. I usually take .5 mg at at time, sometimes twice a day, sometimes none. I never had any side effect from it, unless I took a full 1 mg. I got sleepy.
