How many pills of clonazepam can you take, without O.D'ing?

Question

Bad panic attack, taken already the presecribed amount and it hasn't done too much. How many more can I take, before it would send me to the hospital? Don't want to go there if at all possible -- 0.5mg.


I do suffer from Bipolar II disorder

Additional Details

I have went for a walk and done deep breathing exercises prior -- which are all very important.

Obviously, if your prescribed dose is not effective, then you need to go back to the Doctors who are treating you; otherwise, they won't know whats going on, and that's not fair to them nor is it being fair to yourself, as the ones treating you will now be flying blind. Getting casual advice on the internet is one thing; asking what is the LD50 (what older clinicians will remember as half the lethal dose) of a powerful benzodiazepine is something else entirely. No doctor or nurse in his or her right mind would even attempt to give you that information sight unseen.

Answer 2

call a pharmacist or family doctor the one who prescibed the meds to you and explain what you're going thorugh... it all depends on your height and weight

Answer 3

Go run around the block a couple of times. You're body already has anti-anxiety drugs. They're called endorphines. Quit maxing out on meds someone put you on. I bet they're not putting that junk in there body.

Answer 4

I take 2 mg clonazepam pills -- never more than one at a time. If yours are 0.5 mg pills, then one of mine equals four of yours.

To get a more authoritative answer, call your shrink or a pharmacist.
