I was prescribed clonazepam about 17 yrs.
ago for anxiety[?] - not severe. I have
written here on other posts my very low
opinion of this drug, esp. given for
anxiety, insomnia and restless leg syndrome.
I am curious, about the dose prescribed for epileptics. In some monographs I see that the dose is 12-20mg, in comparison to 0.5 - 2.0 mg for
anxiolytic purposes. As some many know, respiratory depression is one of the major adverse
effects. I wonder if such high dosages
are not dangerous. How do epileptics deal
with this drug?Squiggles
