Just to let you know, ANY med I take is always at a high dose. I guess I'm one of those lucky few who achieve results in the small minority ABOVE the normal dosing. Makes doctors eyes pop out, though....and makes me feel like a junkie. Then again, I can always say that I'm just an above-average gal! Lol.
By the way, my daughter is the same way with her chemistry....even with over-the-counter. My son can take a SLIVER of a pill and be cured for life!! Lol.
My Klonopin dose is 4mg in the late morning/early afternoon timeframe, and then another 2mg in the evening....with even possibly another 2mg if the situation calls for it. It certainly doesn't work wonders, and I even tried 5mg once to see if I could get myself to go on a bus.....but I still couldn't do that. Obviously, social anxiety is my companion...whether I want her tagging along or not! *smile* And even at those doses, I don't find that it helps a great deal with the anxiety....but it DOES help some, and I'd much rather have it than nothing. (I also take Inderal LA 80mg twice a day to help with the adrenaline rushes and the pounding heart and all the other physical love tokens that social anxiety willingly gives to you).
Wishing you all the best!
Sandy
