Glydin, when in the PM did you take it and why? Do you mean 3PM or 6PM or 9PM or 11PM?
Also, how long did you find each dose to work for? For me it seems to work for around 8 hours after I take it.
>>>Glydin, how much did you take and when did you take it?
>>>At my peak use, I was at 1 mg per day, divided AM and PM. That was at the very beginning and for around the first 6 months. I maintained on .5 mgs per day, again divided .25 mgs. AM and PM for the remainder of my time on. Take into account, I'm a small person and am below the average size for alot of folks, so my dose may seem low by some standards. Most resources cite 2-4 mgs. per day for the average dosage required for anxiety control. If used for seizure control, the doses are higher than the 2-4 mgs. range. Also, some divide dosing more than twice per day even with the long halflife Klonopin has and find that works best for them.
Good Luck. I suggest giving it a little bit of time to see how you will do and keep in good communication with your doc.
If I can help you further, I'll be glad to in any way I am able. Just post to this thread as I don't come here as often as I once did.
