I have been prescribed .5 mg of Clonazepam for 2 years and it is extremely helpful for panic attacks and helping me do tasks that cause me a lot of anxiety. I do not use it everyday and have been pretty paranoid about getting addicted to it because I know it's dangerous, so I sometimes avoid taking it even when I know I need it. I have had bouts of severe insomnia and my psychiatrist insisted that it would be better to replace my usual insomnia medication (lunesta) with 1 mg of clonazepam  that he wants me to take every night in addition to the .5mg that I sometimes need during the day. I am very worried that taking it daily is going to have negative effects or get me addicted. I raised these concerns with him and he said that the benefits of correcting my sleep schedule outweighs the potential for developing a dependence. Is 1 to 1.5 mg of this medication daily going to fuck me up somehow? That seems like a lot to me but I am not sure. I would like to continue to be able to use the .5mg dose as needed long term and if I developed a tolerance from the 1mg daily I wouldn't want to have to increase the as needed dose as well because I feel that I am alreadypushing my luck using it 2 or 3 times a week for several years. Does anyone know if this is a safe dose or if it will cause health problems? These are anxiety fueled, sleep deprived ramblings so I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this or if it is not very coherent. Any advice would be much appreciated. Have a lovely day.
