hi i wonder if you can help me
i was told i can take clonazepam as needed however i keep reading that you have to take this regularly for it to work!!
i wanted to only take it if i really needed it as im afraid of getting addicted
thanks
Some people have taken clonazepam only as needed, but it is a longer acting benzodiazepine more suited for longer-term use. I believe it also take longer to reach its efficacy, which is why most "as needed" benzodiazepine prescriptions are for the quicker -acting (with shorter half-life) Xanax (alprazolamAlprazolam Alprazolam er) or Ativan (lorazepam). If you really want to just take as needed you may want to discuss these other options with your physician.
