I am scheduled to have an MRI and have terrible claustrophobia. I was prescribed three 1 mgs of clonazapam to help. Is taking three too much?
Yes it is too much. clonazepam is slow acting and not preferred for MRI
I like Ativan (lorazepam) 1-2 mg or Valium 10 mg with option to repeat in 30 minutes.
