In reply to Does anyone increase their dosage of Klonopin..., posted by Colleen D. on November 12, 2004, at 20:19:13
You only take .25mgs of klonopin X3 daily? That's a small dose...asking for a little increase shouldn't be a big deal. If your doc fusses, try to find one that isn't afraid of benzos.(My doc started me out on 1mg daily, to put this in perspective for you...and I was a teenager). As far as the self-medicating thing goes...I personally think if you don't go overboard and/or mix the Klonopin with alcohol or other sedatives, its not a big deal. BUT there are other strategies: you can use a beta blocker (with or w/o klonopin), you can try to get an Rx for an as-needed booster benzo such as Xanax or Ativan, or you can try to get your overall dose bumped up a bit (my suggestion) so you won't even NEED to up your klonopin for certain events...you'll be calm and ready to go 24/7. Good luck!
