    Take as soon as you sense it coming.
    The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

    Agreed because they take a little longer to kick in than some of the other benzos.

    Well clonazepam takes at least an hour to kick in. I take it once a day 0.5 mg, my panic comes at evening, 8 o'clock is the time ) Helps me sleep too. I love this benzo. I do not like ativan though I take when panic hits

    My anxiety got so bad, especially when all of that happened with my son, they put me on 2mg three times a day. Just a month ago, I thought that was too high to stay on, and they lowered it to 1mg three times a day. I don't always have to take it three times a day, but it sure has helped me this past week, that's for sure. D

    Totally agree with acetone. I don't want to sound like a know it all. Anyone who knows me knows I'm nothing like that. But I know a little about it, due to taking it for a couple of years now. Just some good ole advice. Try and not ever take too much, if you're having a bad attack. I did this once when I first started taking it. I had a panic attack hit hard, and I got scared and took two of them. Which is wrong to do. I slept all day. Never did that again. It can be a lifesaver for sure, but take care with it. I sure do hope it helps you though, like so many others have said it helped them. Hopefully this will work wonders. I hate panic attacks. They're awful and unpleasant to get through. Glad you got some help. Take care, and have a great weekend. Dorrie

    Red rose is love ) Nice, congratulation.
    Dorrie just try to lower it gradually. I usually do not take it on weekend, when the stress is minimal....

    I take mine everyday around noon, 0.5 but if I feel any more stressed or more paniky I will take another one if needed. Take it as soon as you feel one coming, just like everyone else has said
