Can I Increase The Dosage Of Klonopin For Anxiety?
I have been prescribed 1mg Klonopin 3x daily. After 3 weeks, my anxiety level is still about 9 on a scale of 10. Can this dosage be increased and help me? I do not sleep or function well at all. Does my weight have anything to with the meds not working very well? Help is appreciated. I don t see my doctor until July 1st

Thank you for contacting HCM.
It seems you are already taking a good amount of clonapin for anxiety. I would not suggest to increase the dose with out notifying your prescribed physician. just increasing the dose of clonapin is not the solution.
did your prescribe any other medications for the anxiety ?
medications like SSRI are more helpful in treating the anxiety along with behavioral therapy and counselling.
take care
