I have been taking 1/4 of 1mg in the morning and 1/4 in the afternoon of clonozepam for a couple of months now while I am deciding and trying to figure out if I want to go back on the Zoloft b/c my panic attacks have returned after almost two years of none....my dr said I could take 1 1mg tablet a day but I don't do that...sometimes I take an extra 1/4 at the end of the day if I feel really panicky...is that too much to be taking? 

I saw in another post that they said Klonopin ruined their life....

velaineg,

This is a question that is hard to answer, because everyone has such individual needs for their treatment and recovery.

What works well for one person, could be very wrong for another.

Simply put a Clonozepam is not a bad drug...but it could be 'bad' for some individuals...as another drug may treat/suit them better.

Benzodiazapines can be one of those drugs that you can build a tolerance towards...and they can also cause dependency, so you are wise to be careful.  However, you are on a low dose, so you probably shouldn't be overy concerned.

I think that the best way to deal with this is to talk to your doctor about your concerns and discuss your best options.

I hope that you can find the best solution for you...it can take awhile to get the right combination/dosage, so try to be patient...and let us know how it goes.:)

It is not bad as long as you dont over so it. I take it when I feel a panic attack coming.
