A member asked:

I take .5 mg of klonopin a day. doctor said to take it for maximum of a month.also take 50mg of zoloft (sertraline) daily for 3 months. will this help?anxiety

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Taking the low dose of klonopin for anxiety will give the Zoloft (sertraline) time to become effective. If 50mg is not helping enough with your anxiety, the dose may have to be increased. Talk with your doctor.
