What you can build up that fast though, is tolerance, so that the same amount of the benzo no longer works as well. That is how it starts..People need to take higher and higher amounts, and then start taking them more than once a day, and before you know it, you've got a dangerous physical addiction going. Keep yourself in check and speak with your doctor.

Good luck and keep your chin up!

Klonopin is usually taken at least twice a day by most on it. Since he is new to panic attacks they may put him on it three times a day and lower it as he gets better. Most people on klonopin do not build up a tolerance. It seems like the benzo's take longer to build up a tolerance then the SRRI's do.
