Hi Stella,
Did you increase it on your own because your symptoms aren't under control? I take 6mg/day for panic disorder which apparently is high- but it also acts as a secondary mood stabilizer for my bipolar disorder. People who have complex partial seizures take as much as (someone correct me here if I'm wrong please) take about 16mg/day. Initially the dose is .5mg tid or about 1.5mg/day for anxiety disorder. So obviously it varies, and it would probably really help if you could manage at least one visit to a psychiatrist- perhaps you could look into a county mental health clinic. Good luck and if you do taper down- no more than 10%/week or 2 or you will have some nasty withdrawal symptoms- Judy
