Can Medication For Anxiety Relief In These Amounts Be Considered As Low Dosage?

Thank you. I have been taking Klonopin under the care of my doctor for several years. Because I cut a .50 mg in half and take on this schedule: through the day I take a total .75 and at night ,.50. Is that what you call a low dosage? I m 78 and in good health. This is for anxiety relief.

If you are on this dose since long then it is ok, as long as your anxiety is under control. for all benzodiazepine, you will develop tolerance. so to get the same effect you will have to increase the dose. But does is ok.
