"my husband of 41 years passed away 5 months ago.  i went under care at a mental health clinic for therapy and group therapy.  they changed my clonazepam to 1 mg per day. i had two incidents of crying uncontrollably and they upped the medicine to 1 to 3 per day.  this made me sleep a lot during the day. finally the psychiatrist did a medical check and has changed my medications to different times of the day and has the clonazepam 1 to 3 times on as needed basis.  he said i could also cut them in half and take 1/2 the dosage at a time to keep from sleeping all the time.  yesterday i didn&#039;t take the medicine at all and today i woke shaking and cramping in my legs. took the medicine and it all stopped. good for anxiety."
