since Klonopin was originally approved for seizures, and has only recently become popular for anti-anxiety uses, a lot of the side-effects really reflect problems found in epileptic patients. Dosage for anxiety varies widely, but seems to usually range from 1-4mgs/day, sometimes up to 6; with epilepsy, 20mgs/day are sometimes used (thats roughly the equivalent of 200mgs/valium daily). So...problems are possible at any dose, but the likelihood that you'll have problems rises with dose, with problems being most likely in dosages used to control seizures. Good luck!
