The Rx is for .25 mg. after bkfast, .25 mg. after lunch, and .50 before bed=1 mg. That's rather small. Based on plenty of experience with benzos Xanax and Klonopin, I'm sure that it could be safely increased to about double or more., but I'd ask for a switch to Klonopin, since it's less habituating and the effects last longer. The downshide to benzos is having to wean off gradually after you've been taking them for more than a couple of weeks.
I appreciate all the other info you've said and you're very reassuring--especially about being patient.
