Is It Advisable To Slightly Increase The Dosage Of Klanazepan?
Hi, I am presently prescribed three one mg klanazepan tablets per day for the past ten years and I believe I have built up a tolerance to them, how could I safely increase my dosage slightly, I have asked my doctor but she is old school and doesn t believe I have built up a tolerance after ten years at the same dosage? I have been in a major automobile accident and have been out of work and am living with more stress then I ever have had in my entire life. I thought I could get some free basic advise and pay you if you can help me convince my doctor that ten years at the same dosage is not enough. Sorry for wasting you time. I am looking for a way to get a small additional amount of klonipin prescribed to me.
you can increase the dosage of Clonazepam only if your doctor says so. This is because increase in dosage of Clonazepam can have variety of side effects. That's why your doctor is stopping you from increasing the dosage. Yes, you can definitely add up some other medication on your doctors advice. So, please avoid self medications.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vijaykumar, Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist
