For me Klonopin definitely has a tolerance issue. At first .5 mg helped immensely. After a few months, I had to go to 1mg. Then 2mg. Then 4mg. Now I am on (after about 3 and a half years of using klonopin)6-8 mg a day and it doesn't faze me. It does help some with the anxiety but I am still scared a lot of the time. Two mg is like water off a duck's back. I can't even tell I've taken it. My pdoc has prescribed up to 6mg a day. But some days I have been so anxious and so terrified that I have taken as much as 10mg. It didn't even make me sleepy.
I wonder if I should change to a different benzo.
