Why would you ask this question?
Do you need help????
I take .5mg 3 times a day. I can't remember what the highest dose mg's are that it comes in. Look at www.walgreens.com & go to drug info & find it. I would think that 4 or 6 of the highest mg would be borderline being too much.
Just my opinion.

I do not know you, your friend or the details of your situtation, nor am I am MD, so I am not acting in my capacity as a clinician nor can you or your friend consider yourself my patient. This answer is for educational purposes only and consult an mental health or health professional if you fear harm or need health/mental health advice particular to your situation.
DO NOT TRY TO MONITOR SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU FEAR THEY HAVE TAKEN TOO MUCH!! Their life may be in the balance. Given she/he has locked them away they are crying for help but playing a dangerous game.
Take them to the ER; if they won't go call 911 and get the police there NOW. if you are AT ALL suspicious of an overdose or too much
DO THIS IF YOU EVEN SUSPECT He or she might take too much if you take your eyes off them. This is more than a friend can handle alone.
Better they be mad at you than dead or brain damaged.
AND, if they didn't take too much, or didn't mean it when they said they might-- but say they did --take it seriously and taking safety steps will show them that that is NOT a good way to get the attention they need (it's normal to need attention its how you pursue it is the question). AGAIN, YOU DON"T KNOW THEY WILL BE SAFE. Attempts not meant to kill can kill by accident
If you or they are considering killing yourself, call the local crisis line or go to the nearest er or call 911. If you have taken klonapin and aren't sure if it is too much you MUST CALL 911 right away!!!

when i take one i can remember what i did. those are very powerful pills, only take them as directed, if you got them from someone then only take one, at least until you are sure how they work in your body. they are a very fun pill to be on, but be careful the last time i took one 4 of us were on them and we walked to the store in the middle of the road, and we still don't remember the whole walk.

what ever your body can not tolerate, do not try to overdose, tolerable doses of these medicines vary based on body size, fat and metabolism, if you think you may have od'ed, call the closest ER, good luck
