"anxiety disorder runs in my family, and klonopin has done us wonders. i suffered a severe car accident 10/2012. quit my job, quit fall-term, and became paralyzed from anxiety. initial dose was 0.5mg 2x a day. i discovered, less is more. now i only take 0.5 mg 2x a day, and it helps me be andy. klonopin is addictive. 20mg is max dose for epilepsy. 4mg/ day max for anxiety. 1mg/day in studies is shown to be most effective for anxiety. take it as prescribed. don&#039;t, take more. if you don&#039;t have epilepsy. believe me! benzodiazepines should be used with caution."
