Brief Answer:
maximum 4 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Thanks for writing to us.
Maximum dose of clonazepam is 4 mg per day in divided dosage depending upon the problem for which it is given and physical condition of the adult patient.

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine and used for anxiety and sleep. In low dose it acts as anti-anxiety. However one should take clonazepam as per prescription to avoid sedation. And use clonazepam regularly only if your doctor has mentioned otherwise it can cause tolerance and dependence.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
