What Is The Dosage Of Clonazepam?

Hello, I am a recently retired pharmacist and my wife has been diagnosed for close to 20 years with anxiety and panic disorder, and is OCD and ADD. She has been on clonazepam for the entire time (since before I knew her). She states they tried her on Prozac and other medications that did not work. Her doctor had written for her to take 1 tablet three or four times a day as needed. She rarely takes the fourth tablet unless she is having a panic attack. Up until July this year, she was always given 120 tablets for a 30 day supply and she never used them up because she rarely took the 4th pill. Now since, July the pharmacy will not allow but 90 tablets which will cover 30 days if she does not have a panic attack, but if she needs that 4th tablet, then she runs short. Has there been a change I am unaware of in prescribing and dose recommendations, or is it all due to PBM s exerting their control?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
In my opinion she needs to check the thyroid levels, hemoglobin levels and sugar levels. She needs to try once more the other medications which will help her to taper the medications like Clonazepam.
