Tolerance: You are developing tolerance to this very addicting medication. That means no to upping the dose. It is time for you to learn how to sleep again without pills and to perhaps address the overuse and addiction issues this question represents.

Anxiety ; Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin (clonazepam) can decrease anxiety but it induces tolerance, requiring higher doses for the same effect.This means you're becoming habituated to the medication. Please see a psychiatrist for evaluation and other options. A psychologist can also work effectively with your anxiety in non-pharmaceutical ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very helpful, and the skills you learn become yours for life.
