Hi, I'm new here I hope its ok me asking this here. umm I have been on clonazapam before a couple of yrs ago but it cost too much. I've been able to go on it again recently and my dr put me straight on the dose i was on before. but i think (my memory is jumbled( since that day my anxiety has really increased to the point where like my gf is saying something looks good and I'm convinced thats she's just trying to make me happy. I dont know. Is it usual for clonazapam to cause at least in the short term a higher reaction before brining it down or could there be something wrong?

Everyone reacts differently to this benzo. The less you take and can get by with, the better off you are. What dosage are you currently on? If you have been away from it for a while, your tolerance has lowered. Pdoc's usually prefer that you take just enough for your anxiety and no more. So that dosage may be lower now, since you have been off of it.

What dose? How long were you on it before? Did it work before?
