Can Increasing Dosage Of Clonozepam Be Dangerous ?

I have epilepsy and schizophrenia. I was currently taking 1mg in the morning and 1mg at night of clonozepam and I noticed myself getting better after I took myself off of another medicine. Now I am having seizures and thoughts again. I weigh 145 pounds and I take risperdal, lamictal, and tegretol. I was wondering if it would be dangerous to increase my dosage to 2mg in the morning and at night. Would this be dangerous?
