Hi Chloe,
I take 1 mg Klonopin every morning, and haven't had to increase the dose since I started it two years ago. My pdoc considers this a very small amount and has offered to increase it, but 1 mg works well for me, so I haven't taken him up on this. Many people with severe anxiety do best with a little more.
I do take 0.5 mg Xanax occasionally, if I have a really stressful situation. This works well, and I haven't noticed any interaction between Klonopin and Xanax. I can definitely feel the Xanax taking effect, whereas the Klonopin is very subtle, but extremely effective and long-lasting for anxiety on a day-to-day basis. I recommend it highly.
