Suggest The Ideal Dosage For Klonopin Taken For Anxiety

I have suffered from depression and extreme anxiety since the death of my husband two years ago. He was only 48 and his death was completely unexpected. I found him when I got up in the morning. I am on Pristiq (200 mg) and Klonopin (my doctor just increased dose to 1 mg in the a.m. and 1 mg in the evening one week ago). My depression is better, but I am still suffering from terrible anxiety that keeps me from functioning. Is my dosage of Klonopin considered to be low? Is it plausible to ask for an increased morning dosage? That s when I have the most difficulty with anxiety. Thank you.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Klonopin could be prescribed at 0.25 mg two times a day.

The dose will be gradually raised to 1 mg daily after 3 days.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
