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!
