> eIf your anxiety is unbearable after a month or so, ask your doc for some Klonopin as needed or regular dosing.
But regardles, I advise you should talk to your doc to agressively increase the dose to 60mg, and increase beyond that up to 120mg if 60mg after a few weeks isn't helping your depression or anxiety. It's important not to use benzos when you haven't given enough opportunity for an AD to work.
