A member asked:
Is it true that 0.5 mg clonazepam a day for panic disorder is a very low dosage? will it develop tolerance or addiction? thank you.

Yes, low: .5 mg Clonazepam is in a "low" dosage range. The medicine itself does not develop tolerance or addiction, but the person using it always could. That is why these medicines are to be prescribed & used carefully. Even after "low dose" use, you would still taper rather than stopping suddenly. Take care.

Ask your prescribing: Doc. There usually isn't a tissue dependency but this isn't a long term treatment. Reassess your medication with your doctor at the next appt.
