I've been prescribed .5 mg and to take 1 or 2 tablets when needed.
Just wondering how much is to much? "When needed" is so general and what if I feel I need it 3 times a day some days. I don't currently take it every day but I am feeling extremely overwhelmed and am anxious about being anxious which only someone with anxiety could understand. I took 2 tablets approximately 2 hours ago and it's taken a while to kick in. Just wondering when and how much I should take if I need it again today.
Any advice would be appreciated. X x

Hi Laura, sadly Clonazepam is not very useful on an 'as needed' basis due to its long half life and mode of action. I'm not sure what your doctor was thinking? I'd be seeking a second opinion from a specialist.
