"i started with a low 0.5 - 1 mg dose and would take it as needed for insomnia/anxiety. i hated the thought of being dependent so i fought taking it consistently. i also started taking higher doses. all of that caused me to to have bad days and good days... but not worth the dependency. eventually i quit cold turkey. it took 10 awful days to get off it but then i was ok. the problem was i wasn&#039;t sleeping again. the insomnia was making my life miserable. i revisited klonopin and decided to take the same small dosage every single night of .25 per night and the results have been amazing the dose is so small that i have no negative side effects and i have been sleeping great for 6 months now. i&#039;m probably dependent now but it&#039;s worth the sleep"
