Brief Answer:
I think you should use lowest possible dose

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

In my view you can go without Klonopin as there are medicines in your prescription which likely to control the anxiety and prevent further aggravation. The examples include lexapro and rameron. Bothe lexapro and ramrod are anti anxiety medications and it can be hoped that over the progress of time you will have better anti anxiety effects with these two medications.

In case you are not able to manage go with lowest possible dose. For example go for 0.25 mg on the need basis and never cross one milligram per day. This is to help you with anxiety but not to go for dependence.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
Yes it is right

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Yes you are right to say that there is no risk of withdrawal symptoms of klonopin and at the same time the chances of anxiety symptom progression is non existent.

You can continue at the same dose and do whatever possible to manage the stress.

I hope this assists you further.
