Tepiaca,I can't answer as to the danger question......pose that to your doc or nurse practioner or physician's assistant or whatever healthcare provider you have prescribing Klonopin for you.
I currently take 3 mg/day. Sometimes 4 mg. I'm a chick in the 120-130 lb range. I usually need a higher dose of benzos as my body is just like that. I need more novacaine at dentist. More knockout stuff for dental surgery. Next time I see pdoc I need to discuss whether or not a higher dose of Klonopin is going to help with the panic attacks as opposed to the anxiety which the Klono. has been most effective at.
So talk with health person and ask if other benzos might not be better matched for your dx. Or perhaps a combo depending on the type of anxiety. I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by "...necessary until my FB disapear..." What does FB stand for?
Everybody is different in their tolerance to benzos so you might need a higher dose or a diff. one. Anxiety sucks and I hope you find a solution soon.
Thanks and good luck.
