What is the highest, safest dose of Klonopin?

Im taking 3mg per day. Yet I am having unusual high anxiety. Is it safe to take more?

I don't know what the limit is for anxiety but I know for seizures they can use up to 20mg. Fondly, Phillipa

4 mg is the highest you are suppose to go for anxiety. Although as Phillipa said, 20 mg for epilepsy. Perhaps there is a physical reason for your anxiety? Have you tried any other benzos and did you respond?

Hi,

You can go as high as 4 mg for anxiety. But be aware of one thing. By experience and with my readings if you take 4 mg of klono and more you're going to break your AD effect (partially), for sure, no doubt.

Do yourself a favor, see if you can take something else for you anxiety. Are you sure you have the right diagnosis?

Bye.
