For what it's worth, I'm on it for a neuropathic problem and the anxiolytic effect is just a bonus for me. I hardly ever use the Klonopin script I have. I'm diagnosed with GAD, along with the BP and took Klonopin for years for it. Not anymore.
It's possible the dose is very individual.
1800 mg/day is pretty standard for neuropathy pain.

For anxiety, I'm guessing it varies.
I cannot tolerate 300 mg. It's too much. Out cold.
