Download the Walgreens app, and you can chat with a pharmacist for free. They can give you these answers.

I don’t know too much about medications but I agree with kpeachzz. I was going to say you can always ask a pharmacists. The app is a great idea as well to be safe side, that you don’t do anything that will harm you with a bad reaction.

Sorry to hear about your anxiety I hope it gets better

[Lilmoma in reply to UnderstandingMyPain]

Yes, thank u..I feel ok today but my anxiety usually creeps up during day an sometimes last thru night, suxs so bad! I've only been dealing with it for last year an half!

[UnderstandingMyPain in reply to Lilmoma]

You’re welcome!! Yeah it is tough, but you’re doing a great job, but trying to take control of it now.

[Lilmoma in reply to UnderstandingMyPain]

It was so scary at 1st an still is most times, I've been 2 er so much thinking heart attack an reason for that is because my twin brother died of massive heart attack 4yrs ago but I've had all test done an heart is good..so it really gets 2 me when it happens

Hi Lilmoma , I’m sorry it’s thru the roof. I can relate with that this morning, too, and just read the email asking if I could offer you my advice. I do still take klonopin for anxiety and panic attacks for years now with the best results of any of the anxiety type meds we’re familiar with. I’m prescribed 3, 1mg tabs a day as necessary. (I’m 59, also), and I take them as needed most times, and my prescriber agrees that’s ok for me.

Not knowing what you’re taking (other than Benadryl), for allergies maybe, I can only tell you what I do and how I’m prescribed them. The other reply you have gotten here is good, too, but I find here in the USA, (don’t know where you’re at), that even pharmacists, etc., are hesitant to give much info out to people.

In my own opinion I would do it and take another 1/2 or even a whole milligram since that’s the dosage you’ve been prescribed unless you’ve been told to only take half, specifically at a time. I’ve not once had a bad side effect or felt ill from klonopin, but that’s me. Whatever you do be careful but I would take it if it were me.

Let us know what you decided and how you feel later if it’s possible. I care about you!

Hey thank you so much, I took a half of 1mg klonopin bout 4hrs after benadryl but really didn't help me so I took half of a half round 11pm an tossed an turned all night with muscles hurting, I dont feel as anxious this morning, just my chest feels sore an my bk hurts, so I took a tylenol an gonna wait till round 12 or 1 an take half to c if that helps...its my 1st time using this so we will c.i was used to taking ativan but these I wont hv to take as much but dont feel like its helping.

[Nancy325 in reply to Lilmoma]

I’m glad you did, sorry it didn’t help much, but I’m so happy you’re feeling less anxious. Being less anxious should help your muscles relax, too, I’m hoping. Ativan and klonopin are in the same “family” of drugs so maybe your Dr thought he’d tweak it a bit and see if these helped you more. I have taken them for years, and each time a Dr would switch me to see if something worked even better, I always went back to klonopin. I wish there were a cure. I try to manage my anxiety and depression the best I can, but unfortunately do need the help of medication. You may want to start a journal of how you’re feeling most days so you can keep better track for yourself and Dr. (I’m suggesting that because I forget just how many days are bad or good sometimes), and I know it helps a lot of people just to jot down how their day went, what may have caused the anxiety or panic.

It’s 11:23 a.m. where I’m at in the midwestern USA, central time zone.

Keep me updated if you would.

Another thing about klonopin (for me), is that I don’t feel weird or bad or sick taking it. It takes the edge off my anxiety or panic better than anything else I’ve ever noticed.

*Also please remember you just started taking them, so it may take a little while to notice some change

Hope you’re feeling even better now and more relaxed. 😌

Is it ok to half a 1mg klonopin, some say not to because it makes anxiety worse but I dont wanna take a whole one right now, dont wanna be sleepy all day

[Nancy325 in reply to Lilmoma]

I don’t know why it wouldn’t be ok. Each person is different. How did your Dr prescribe you to take them? I’ve had a Dr get upset with me if I didn’t take them as prescribed (3 times per day, morning, noon, and before bedtime), BUT, for me I don’t need them if I’m not anxious or panicked, so I was lucky to have found a Dr that agrees with me on this medication, since there are days I might take more or less depending on how I feel. That makes me feel a little more in control of myself, especially if I know ahead of time I’m going to be somewhere or around people I’m not comfortable being around.

I don’t believe they make a time released klonopin to my knowledge, so taking half shouldn’t ever cause more anxiety, but 1/2 may not diminish the anxiety you’re dealing with at that particular time. That’s where you need to discover what’s best for you, depending on your current anxiety or pending anxiety or panic. Always discuss with your Dr at your appointments what’s working or not for you.

Again, I’m telling you what works for me the best, and my Dr is fine with my approach but it’s not a one size fits all, like most all medications.

Does that make sense?

[Lilmoma in reply to Nancy325]

So I've had pretty good day, I just took my 1mg klonopin so we will c how the night goes..
