"i have taken klonopin for 10 years for anxiety. dr. started me at 0.5mg/day. because of increased anxiety, my dosage was increased slowly to (3) 2mg doses per day. i was at 6mg/day for several years. it calmed my anxiety and helped me to sleep very well.
i went on a 2 day trip 3 years ago and forgot my medication. i was up all night and realized that i was dependent on klonopin. in the past 3 years i have slowly decreased my dosage to 1mg at night and 1mg in the morning. i have been at this dosage for 1 year. if i forget to take this klonopin dosage, i get very anxious. i want to decrease dosage more, 1/4 mg at a time. klonopin absolutely helps with my anxiety, i just didn&#039;t know i shouldn&#039;t have taken the high dosage that i was on."
