In reply to What is the max. dose for Klonopin to treat anxiet, posted by BRC on September 23, 2004, at 10:55:08
I have heard of folks on around 6 mgs per day. Dosing for seizure control is quite high at up to 20mgs per day - which, to me, sounds like a big whopper of a dose! I think someone here has posted about taking in the teens for dosing.
The tolerance thing is a bit tricky. Some folks tweak their dose after a few years and maintain for a fairly long period of time. Others, once a tolerance thing begins, don't seem to be able to level off. Weaning from a high dose can be problematic, too. I don't think any dose change should be done without speaking with your doc.
I suggest talking with your doc. Upping the dose to see how it goes can be an option as can switching to another benzo or another class of meds.
This is one of those situations it would be hard to predict. Good Luck to you.
