Since I have to do research for myself about my problem because doctors don't know what the hell they are doing. I am taking 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night and then taking .25 mg clonazepam at night. What I did was took .25 mg clonazepam in the morning, and I felt much better. I needed something to relax me in the day too since I also have problem with anxiety too. I don't feel depress like I was the couple day ago. It seem as if I have to solve my own problem. Does that feel that way to some people?

Today I woke up wanting to rip somebody's head off. Yeah, I'm tapering down right now. Some days are OK, other days just plain SUCK!!!!
I would call them and let them know what you're doing and why. They need to have it in your chart (in case of accidents/ hospitalizations etc).
If you need to increase your dose, it is still best to go to a pdoc for the increase. First, if you present your case well, they are likely to give you a small increase. Second, if you increase your meds. without the pdoc. increasing your prescription then the end of the month will be really bad because you will run out of meds before your pdoc will ok a refill.
Clonazepam is a med. docs are very careful with. I had someone still mine 2x's in one month. I then had to go through the withdrawals because the doctor refused to write me more. He knew that if he did he could possibly lose his license. I had two weeks of horrible withdrawals which I sub-ed out for a legal mood adjuster. It still didn't work as well.
He likely believed that I had my meds. stolen but his hands were tied. Please don't increase that med to where you run out early. Withdrawals are the pits!
Good luck,this balanced med. battle is tough!
