does it mention PRN on the bottle? A lot of times they will say, like, 0.5 mg up to two times daily PRN, or “as needed.” They sometimes do that so you always have the amount of meds you need, because you don’t need to refill it every 30 days exactly. One refill could last you months when you take it PRN.
Either way definitely tell your pdoc you are just going to take it as needed. I seriously doubt they would ever argue against that. That’s just good practice with benzos period. Any pdoc who isn’t a fool would encourage that.
I find that just having a prn on hand is helpful, even if you only rarely need to use it. It provides peace of mind that you have an option in case you need it.
Klonopin works for me. Sorry it doesn’t work for you. At first I didn’t understand why I had to take it. But I followed the doctor’s order and took it consistently in order to feel the effects of it. It helps me with anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
