Hi there
To me it does not seem that much.
I find it depends on my mental state, if I am manic I can tolerate 6mg's a day and it will not being me completely down. When I am not sometimes 0.5 to 1mg will send me to sleep. So if you are under a lot of stress at the moment or underlying the clonazepam is a nasty case of agitation it maybe that is just how much you need.
I am also lucky in that I have never really became tolerant to benzodiazepines and needs to increase my dose, as was initially predicted by my Doctors and I have been taking them since 1992. It is just as the severity of my condition changes I need to change the dose. Clonazepam is the most effective and I have found that if 15mg's of diazepam for 3 days dose not really help then increasing it wont help either.
I think it is a case as the Americans say of Your Mileage May Vary.
Take care.
James
