i am on 10 mgs of clonazepam for panic and it works 95%. Every year i reduce in spring time to 2mgs a day (in 6-8weeks) due to tolerance. after this quasi drug vacation i increase dosage as needed topping off at 10mgs . i have been on this regiment for 5 years now. My pdoc is a addiction specialist and says if the drug works there is no need to worry too much about dependence. i am a heavy person and do believe a heavier person probably needs a larger dose. without the klonopin i was homebound and isolated. with meds i am able to go out and socialize normally. previously i tried many types of meds both indicated for panic and also off label meds that were helful to others who paniced. i find klonopin almost devoid of side effects even when tapering down.
