Brief Answer:
Please see details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your concern regarding taking extra dose of your medications.

Klonopin is Clonazepam. It is generally used in doses of 0.5-2 mg for sleeping. However the maximum recommended dose can be much higher.

Requip is Ropinirole and the recommended dose range is 0.5-4 mg/day.

You have mentioned that you have taken 4 mg of clonazepam and 4 mg of ropinirole. As such, I won't worry about any overdose except for you being able to sleep for a longer duration. However, if you feel any kind of discomfort, you should see a doctor immediately.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Please let me know if you have any further doubts.

Best wishes,

Dr. Sunil Gupta
