Maybe get a second opinion from another dr? Klonopin is a controlled substance and it can cause memory issues if it’s too high

How much are you taking a day? You should only really be taking it once at most

im on 0.5mg twice a day, so 1mg. if i don’t take it there’s a 99% chance ill have a panic attack so it’s kinda hard for me to only take it once 😅 it’s a 12 hour med so if i only take it at night it doesn’t last all through the next day.. :/
