In reply to Klonopin for Social Anxiety -- Dosage ?, posted by zuzu80 on May 3, 2004, at 15:22:13
I've taken Klonopin (1 mg/day) for about three years and haven't had to change the dosage. My pdoc says this is standard for many of his patients. I also take Xanax, but develop tolerance fast so limit its use to a few times a month. My pdoc also says tolerance is common with Xanax, so is very cautious with it and will only prescribe it for occasional use for most patients. I haven't tried to withdraw from Klonopin (which I expect would be difficult) but also have absolutely no side effects from it, so why quit? It's extremely effective for anxiety relief and has been used for decades without any indications of long-term harm, even used daily.
