Clonazepam (Klonopin) 2mg requires a valid prescription from a DEA-registered US healthcare provider as a Schedule IV controlled substance approved exclusively for panic disorder and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome seizures; no express night dispatch route or online service can legally dispense it without comprehensive medical evaluation, and prescription-free "buy online" constitutes federal felony distribution under 21 U.S.C. § 841, facing up to 20 years imprisonment, $250,000 fines, and supervised release.
The 2mg tablet serves as standard maintenance dosing (panic: titrate from 0.25mg BID to 1-2mg BID max 4mg/day divided BID-TID; seizures: 0.5mg TID up to 0.2mg/kg/day max 20mg divided) under 2025 DEA telemedicine extensions through 12/31/2025, mandating synchronous HIPAA video by prescribers confirming DSM-5 via PDSS>15, multi-state PDMP clearance (no recent fills), SSRI/CBT failure (8+ weeks), SUD exclusion (CAGE<2), STOP-BANG<3 respiratory risk, and geriatric max 1mg/day—no "dispatch" evades post-2025 in-person mandates, EPCS two-factor, or 5-refill/6-month caps across 45 states.
