I have dealt with anxiety for almost one year. the doctor wants me to up my dose of clonazepam from .5mg daily which i've been on for 1 month to 1mg daily. i'm also on 50mg of atenolol for tachycardia related anxiety. what should i expect?

Anxiety: The clonazepam may decrease anxiety symptoms. But are you on any other anxiolytic medication like a serotonin reuptake inhibitor or buspar (buspirone)? What non-pharmacological options are being tried - like CBT, other forms of psychotherapy, meditation, exercise, breathing exercises, yoga, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, acupuncture etc.? Outcome is best if you have more than 1 tx modality.

Wrong Treatment: Chronic use of an benzo like clonazepam is the wrong therapy and will make you worse requiring more medication to get buy, this is addiction, please ask your doctor to stop that drug and treat the underlying cause of your anxiety ask to see an addiction specialist and a psychologist as well and stop the Benzo medications! Please get help soon!
