Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You can start with klonopin 1mg daily and if you do not get the desired result, increase the dose by 0.5 -1mg every third day till a maximum of 4 mg per day. Any further increase can cause tolerance, respiratory difficulty and should be used under medical supervision in cases of seizures.
