Dear Brain,

you have acquired some tolerance to the clonazepam - this is normal. the thing is tolerance can increase progressively with benzos, so it is desirable to take the lowest effective dose. when therapeutic effect is lost, it is best to make the smallest necessary increase in dosage, so as to avoid unnecessary tolerance. this is particularly relevant if one is likely to stay on the drug long term. benzos cause cognitive impairment in the long term (years of use)... so the lower your levels, the better off you are.

describe to your doc the extent to which the med helped at first, and where you are now. he is likely to increase your script but he may try you on a smaller daytime dose first, to see if that does the trick.

i wish you good luck with relief from these nasty panic attacks. let us know how it goes.
