Klonopin was originally developed as a drug for seizures and people who take it for that take up to 10 mg/day initially and seem to be able to back off as needed.
Personally, I'd much rather take Klonopin than any of the SSRI's, no matter how much it takes.
Having said that, Klonopin does some have depressive properties for some. You cold look into switching into another benzo like Xanax or Ativan that doesn't have depressive properties.
Having said that as well, if you have a program that's working for you, stay with it until your system tells you that it's time to back off a little.
I hoe you're getting your script from a psychiatrist that is also doing therapy with you, not a family physician.
