In reply to is my klonopin dose too high?, posted by llurpsienoodle on February 1, 2008, at 17:48:15
It's a lot to take in one day. I used to take 3-4 mg all in one shot at night. I was on that for 11 years. I finally went off it in November when I was in the hospital.
If you need 3 mg a day now, what will you do when your system gets used to it? How high will you go?
From my experience it takes more than one day to feel the effects from not taking it (maybe 2 or 3). But I think that would vary from person to person.
Try to stick to .5 mg a day if you can. Or find something else to help the anxiety like Seroquel or Zyprexa. CBT would also be very helpful.
