I take 30mg (60 total), twice a day spread out, usually 3-4 hours between. I tried taking all at one time, but by mid afternoon I was craving caffeine and would crash. Doing the split helped. I’m similar didn’t get diagnosed till in my 30s, but had it all my life.

As for food, yeah you’ll lose first 6 months, but after that you’ll level out. I still don’t have big appetites but I usually get one big meal at night and smaller breakfast and lunch. Some days, I may skip lunch all together though. Be careful with clonazapam, it’s not something you wanna be on long. I use propranolol and hydroxine, neither are benzos, if I need to curb anxiety.

You gotta have me time I get it, but you still need to get 7 hours if you can.

Best of luck my dude, it takes time to dial it in
