Hi. Just Have A Quick Question About A Medication. I%E2%80%99ve

Posted on Fri, 13 Dec 2019
Question: Hi. Just have a quick question about a medication. I%E2%80%99ve asked a few doctors and pharmacists this already but wanted to get a couple different opinions just to make doubly sure. Is it safe to take 1 to 1.5 mg of Klonopin roughly about once or twice a month maximum for anxiety attacks? It has been a tremendous help, but Im incredibly paranoid about having some kind of withdrawal symptoms after reading about them online. I have absolutely no desire to take them any more than this. Thanks and have a great day!

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your medicine.

It is not so problematic to take once or twice in a month , but the dose 1.5 mg is not much advisable.

Instead, I would like to advise you to take proper course of treatment for anxiety.
