I don’t take Klonopin, but Ativan. I’m sure they are similar. If you typically get high anxiety and panic attacks before a social event, you can take it as soon as you feel anxiety, not wait for it to escalate into an attack. Usually I don’t know how long mine take to work because they sneak up on you. It will be a little later and I’ll realize I feel better. But they begin to work pretty quickly, within a few minutes.
Klonopin has a longer half life than the other benzos such as xanax and ativan.
Therefore, there will still be some of the medication doing its thing for 12 hours or more.
In theory you should be able to take the klonopin at night before bed, and it will still be working the next day. Figure about 6 hours before your event to be covered.
