In reply to Breakthru Panic attacks - increase the klonopin?, posted by Jackster on June 28, 2003, at 1:15:55
> I been working my way thru my exposure hierarchy (I have agoraphobia) - and have just increased from 0.5mg of klonopin a day to 1mg as things started to get harder. I'm still having break through panic attacks doing the harder stuff on my hierarchy (although they're not as severe) - should I up the dose of klonopin again? Or maybe just continue with the 1 mg for a week or two more?

> JackieHi Jackie, you might wait another week first, because Klonopin tends to accumulate quite a bit, so your blood level will continue to rise for a week or so after a dose increase, then reassess another increase then. The last spell of panic attacks I experienced (a couple of years ago), I had to take 1.5mg/day for a couple of weeks to get them under control.
