I have been taking Klonopin for about a year and a half now. I started at .5mg two -three times a day. At times I needed less and took less. I didn't suffer any adverse effects from lessening the dose when I was feeling less anxious.
I currently take .25 or .5 mg daily. Once, in the morning. I haven't needed to increase the dose. OTOH, it doesn't control my anxiety at that small dosage. Well, .5 does a pretty good job but I would rather keep it at as low a dose as possible and tolerate the anxiety.
I just realized that doesn't make a lot of sense.
Anyway, I ahven't needed to increase the dose unless the anxiety itself gets worse.
