Brief Answer:
I don't think so

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Heaalthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although you can take the third dose occaasionaly but it is advisable not to do so. The ever increasing dose of Klonopin indicates that you are getting dependent on klonopin and that create lot more problems for you in regard to health as well as risk of dropping from care.

Presence of anxiety despite two tablets also indicates that you need permanent solution for treatment of anxiety rather than temporary increase in Klonopin.

I feel it will be appropriate to discuss these two things with your doctor on next visit so he can prescribe adequately and appropriately.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
