Hi everyone! I take .25mg of klonopin twice a day for my severe anxiety. Lately I've been having many symptoms of an anxiety attack even while taking the meds.. I'm just wondering if anybody else is going through this. Right now I am very shaky and anxious and it is not time to take the klonopin again.. Thanks for the responses!

Hi, I take Xanax 4 x a day and still have anxiety attacks, Ive tried to cut back but the shakiness and anxiousness just comes back even worse when it wears off so Im taking it every 4 hours instead of every 6 now. I know that feeling all too well!

Unfortunately breakthrough anxiety does happen sometimes.

How long have you been on your current dose? It may be that you have become tolerant at your current level, and the anxiety is resistant now.

Also, medication is just meant to be a part of the equation...so I hope that you are also working on therapy and or self-help methods to get you through acute anxiety, attacks and daily management.:)

I would make an appointment for a consultation with your doctor to discuss your concerns...and perhaps make a plan to get you to where you want and need to be.

I hope that you get the answers that you need soon.
