I don’t think it is due to the half life being more than 24 hours you will still have a lot in your system from the day before and it will help you wean off it that way. And 2.0 to 1.5 really isn’t too much. You can ask for a 1.0 tab and 1 1/2 .5 tabs per day to take 1.75 per night if you’d rather be completely safe about it!! But me personally, I would be willing to cut down to 1.5 immediately. I think your doctor will say to cut down to 1.5 from 2.0.

My first language is Portuguese.
I live in Brazil.
Sorry for the bad English.
So I take it for anxiety.

The next step is: For how long will I need to take 1.5 to reduce it to 1.0?
I’d say give it two weeks but ask your pdoc because he went through ten years of school for this not me!! But two weeks at least seems like an appropriate adjustment period!!

Ive been on 0.5mg a day for about 3 months and it really has helped me a lot. I plan on keeping my dose here for as long as possible. I trust my psychiatrist, he has a lot of experience and I had the head of the psychiatriac department for a very large naval hospital come personally discuss Klonopin with me, it’s effectiveness, and how it works.
It gets a lot of hate but a lot of people abuse it and that’s never a good idea. Like another poster said, I don’t feel “high” on it, it’s not a euphoric drug for me, it just helps ease my anxiety. Simple as that.

I’ve been on Klonopin for three years. I take 2 mg in the morning and I have a 1 mg PRN if I need it. It really controls my anxiety and I haven’t had a panic attack since I’ve been on it. For me it helps the psychosis. It calms the demon down which I have a hard time understanding why. My pdoc tells me it’s because the demon is a hallucination but after having him around for 7 years it’s hard to believe that. Klonopin is a great drug. 
Just saw all these replies, thank you everyone. I wouldn’t take it if I didn’t need to, I suffer from pretty strong anxiety and paranoia.

I have very bad anxiety that reveals itself in the form of a lip pressing habit that is really ugly and annoying to me. I take Hemp and CBD oil in the morning to combat this anxiety but it wears off by about 4:00 pm in the afternoon. It is then that I take Klonipin 0.25 mg by mouth, once a day, as needed for anxiety. It seems to work pretty good for me. That is all I take all day is that one dose.
