Too Much Klonopin???

Updated

I am prescribed 1 mg klonopins 2 times a day. Due to uncontrolled panic anxiety I've been having, I took four mgs this morning and another 4 this evening.... Now I'm finally calming down... A little late to ask but is that too many mgs in a day???

Dear Jubb, Yes, that was a bit much 2 take. I have anxiety and panic attacks and, I'm also on klonopin. I know there's some days when u feel u just need more. What I would do is talk 2 your Dr and let him know how u have been feeling. I was going through a tough time awhile ago, and, my Dr increased my klonopin. I know how u feel, but, u don't want 2 hurt yourself either.

What will you do when you run out? Taking 8 is way too much. I found Klonopin zots me out more than Xanax. The problem when you take extra is you might go into withdrawal that much quicker and it can make you very sick.

In the prescribing info on Klonopin, which includes the proper dosages, 4 mg PER DAY (not one single dose) is the MAX for treating panic disorder. It's used in doses up to 20mg daily for seizure disorders. Based upon my response of many years at 2mg per day, a single 4mg dose would knock me flat. I would think that 20mg of Klonopin a day would put me in a coma ... just sayin' BTW: There's a term for taking more medication than prescribed. It's called "drug abuse".
