>Hi Maxime,Can you tell me what dosage of Klonopin you are taking and at what time of day? I recently discontinued Lamictal and have added 2 mg of Klonopin at night for sleep. Sometimes this does not put me out and I feel I may need to increase at night. I also take 1 mg during the day as needed. Is my dosage too high?? What is an "average" dose for anxiety/BP? It has done wonders for my anxiety but I am afraid of taking too much or developing a tolerance. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
THanks,
Nicole
