A member asked:

Can .25mg of klonopin (clonazepam) actually reduce my anxiety?i feel like the dose is too low. doctor says i can take .5mg if the initial dose doesn't help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relative dosages : The number of milligrams of a particular medication is meaningless without knowing its relative strength compared to other similar medications. In this case, 0.25 mg. of Klonopin (clonazepam) = 5 mg of Valium, 0.5 = 10 mg of Valium, which would put most people out. More importantly, are you in psychotherapy? For many types of anxiety, exposure-based therapies are extremely effective.
