Hi,
i’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I just now noticed your message. I was on 18 mg of Klonopin a day. I have epilepsy and took it for seizures. It didn't help so I stopped it.
The maximum dose is normally not over 20 mg.

Hi Jake! I guess Klonopin and Clonazepam are different. I WAS on 6mg a day and my doctor almost lost his mind over it. (His temporary replacement put me up to 6 because my anxiety was severe). So upon my regular doctors return he brought me back down to 4 mg. And I'm basically stuck at home now. This is no life for sure.

20 mg is a lot! But I guess if you’re having seizures it’s probably normal.
I take 0.5 in the morning and 1mg at 4 pm and I’m having problems getting off of it.
