I agree that it is best to talk to your doctor about increasing the med. I take 1mg of Klonopin 3x a day.

Since this is a controled medication, you will need to get permission from you Dr. , so you will have enough for the increase. I can tell  you from my experience that I had to increase to 1 mg twice a day from .05 mg twice a day. Plus I take 2 mg at night for sleep.My Dr. told me that 6 mg is the highest he is comfortable going up to.
