Benzos .. a paragraph from a Pschycobabble link

Posted by tepiaca on May 6, 2006, at 22:25:46


From the link
" how to treat Social Phobia "

Clonazepam (Klonopin) was the medication most widely employed in the Anxiety and Depression Program of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in the treatment of Social Phobia. More than 300 cases have been treated with this drug. This choice, now, is being reviewed.

The treatment is initiated with 2 mg/day of clonazepam (Klonopin) divided in two doses 1 mg lunch and 1 mg bed time. If the patient gets very sleepy he can stay for one week or even more with 1 mg bed time only.
"AS TOLERANCE DEVELOPS THE DOSE IS INCREASED TO 3MG/DAY." The ideal dose of clonazepam in the treatment of Social Phobia stays between 3 and 6 mg/day divided in three doses a day, morning, afternoon and bed time.

>>>>
Does that means that tolerance appears because the current dose is not enough??

Does this means that 1mg is never enough to treat SP?

can this tolerance appears at 3 or 6 mg??

just wondering about benzos and tolerance.....
everybody tells me not to take xanax because his short half life, I dont know what to do because it works better than any other benzo
