Klonopin and how much is too much?

The most I ever took in a two hour window was about 13 grams. I didn't start off with 13, but I was experiencing the worst panic attack yet, after 15 years with it, and I popped two more doses of 4 mg, and a 1mg pill later.

I've been taking the drug for my anxiety for about five years, and my daily dose ranges from 2-4.5g, which I have a script for. I've never taken that much before but 10g and 8g a few times.

I personally just felt tired but not really enough to sleep. I was cognizant and felt like I could do most things aside from driving. I didn't experience a euphoria from the benzo. Oddly, I never have.

Klonopin is extemely potent (20 times more potent than Valium) and should be taken as directed. I am currently on 1.67 mg. of Klonopin and it is too much. I would take as little as I needed to get by.

Also, it generally should NOT be used long-term. It has not been studied for longer use than 9 weeks. Normal prescribed use is for 2-4 weeks.

If you are prescribed .5 mg, then that is what you need to take. There is a reason why doctors prescribe the amounts that they do. Klonopin is an addictive drug, and as you increase the dosage, the more resistant your body will become, therefore having to increase your dosage in order to calm down. Trust me, take your prescribed dose.

I take 2mg 3 times a day and some people may consider that very high. It works very well for me, and is the only benzodiazepine that calms me down and reduces my very high pulse tremendously. I haven't encountered any bad side effects from ths drug. It's been a life-saver for me.
