I just started taking .5mg Klonopin for Social Phobia and axiety. I also suffer from deppression.
My pdoc(who is an incredable doc!) told me to take klonopin at bettime. I have been taking Klonopin for maybe 5 days, have felt no real difference.
I am currently on Effexor 300mg, and Trazodone 50mg (Trazodone to help me sleep).
My question is what good will taking klonopin at night do? Since I will be asleep when it takes effect? I already sleep fine with trazodone.
Does klonopin need time to buid a steady state in your body for the full effect to be apparent and will I feel the effects steadly during the day?
Please give me some advice, answers, or support.
Im at a huge crossroads in my life carreer wise now. Things can really take off for me for the good, or things can just spiral down to the bottom. But because of my axiety, sp, I just cant bring myself to do what i need to do.
So...is it normal to take it at night for axiety and sp even though i already sleep good?
Or should i take in the moring??Eat a Peach,
Adam

Adam, Hi, I just started taking klonopin also. I was taking xanax for many years. I have SP and depression and panic disorder..(ahh the joy) anyway. My pdoc told me to start right away taking my klonopin 3 x a day. Morning, noon and night. I take 3mg a day total. But, I think that if you keep a steady amount in you, then its a smoother ride..if you know what i mean.
Good Luck,
Sandy
