Brief Answer:
Yes it is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

It is normal to have a response in PTSD with clonazepam. Since it has some addiction potential most doctors try to cut down clonazepam fearing addiction and consequences.

In my opinion if you are responding well, have no side effects and have no tolerance (needing more dose over time to get same effects) there is no problem in continuing clonazepam.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
