In reply to Anyone take more than 4mg of Klonopin daily?, posted by BRC on October 3, 2004, at 11:10:37
> Hi, I have been taking 2mg of klonopin in the morning and 2mg at bedtime for about two years now. It works wonders for my anxiety and OCD.
>
> I have been reading in medical books that a theraputic dose to treat anxiety can be up to 6-8mg. I was wondering if anyone takes a dose higher than my 4mg and how does it help your anxiety at those doses.
>
> The reson for asking is I think my body is building up a little tolerence, but I am scared to try anything higher. Wanted to get some people opinions where I can talk to my doctor.

> BRCHi! I take 4mgs, but I take "booster" benzos as well...ativan works particularly well for both sleep and anxiety, so its a two time winner. My shrink plops in a few extra klonopin each month for "as needed" (read: calm DOWN) use. I like the ativan better...librium is good, too.
