Which SSRI do you take, and how much and for how long? Sometimes SSRI's can worsen or affect anxiety, or the SSRI itself "poop-out" after a while, leaving you with no anxiolytic effect except from the Klon.
I've been on Klonopin for 14 months for anxiety without need to increase the dose. It still works just great for me on most anxiety symptoms. So I'm wondering if there are other factors for you...besides the SSRI. Are you under extra stress right now. Has your lifestyle/routine changed? (Even something as mundane as eating patterns etc.).
I've known ppl take up to 10mg per day, but only very rarely. I, personally wouldn't want to go up to 6mg or beyond. Try a change in SSRI first, then a change in benzo.....ask your doc.
Best regards,
Jas
