3mg clonazepam is roughly equal to 6mg Ativan according to most of the official charts, but it sounds as if they're not equivalent for you. Could you ask your doctor for a dose increase? It could take up to a month or more to adjust to the lower dose, especially when it's been as traumatic as it sounds for you in this case. Do you have any Ativan left over? If you do, a staggered taper might help ease the transition i.e. 3mg clonazepam + 1mg Ativan one day, 3mg clonazepam + 0.5mg Ativan the next, then back up to 3mg clonazepam + 1mg Ativan, and so on, lowering the Ativan dose until you're able to tolerate clonazepam alone.
