Klonopin is different than most Benzos. It has to build up in your system before it even works. It's not like Valium or Xanax. It's won't help a bad attack immediately at all. That's why it is not abused like Xanax or Valium. It is not a drug you can take to get high or whatever. But not taking it every day will disrupt it's ability to work correctly. I always take mine on schedule. Good luck to you.
