I was in the hospital recently and while there they wanted me to take 3mg klono. Yikes. Before going in, I had been taking just .125mg twice a day. I would break a .5mg pill into quarters. The first 1mg pill they gave me in the hospital, I told the nurse that was 8 times as much as I had ever taken before. She said 3mg a day was actually a low dose. Yikes.
Anyway, I had the option to refuse. I got them to reduce it to .5mg at bedtime, with .25 available twice a day if I wanted it. I got by with .5 at bedtime. As soon as I got out, I reduced it to .25, and now I'm cutting that down. I may need some longterm, but if I do I really want to keep it under control.
