Been mistakenly taking 8mg clonazepam throughout a day - how dangerous?

I didn't take them all at at once, but in six hours period. Haven't taken more in last two hours, but still have 2mg left. It was a miscalculation, because I thought I've taken 4mg, but just realized I've actually taken 8mg. I'm not to new benzos, been taking clonazepam before and I'm also familiar with temazepam and diazepam. And I was just in alcohol detox, which is just basically benzo medication taken every day for five days.

But I'm a still little worried. Could this dangerous, even though I din't take them all at once? Should I just stop taking more. Or should I try to ride it out by taking smaller dosages, like 0,5 at a time? Or am I worried for nothing?
 
It's generally very hard to od on benzos alone. Over sedation is your biggest worry imo
I used to be prescribed 20mg/day for withdrawal for like 3 weeks
 
You will likely sleep have a good long sleep tonight but should be okay. Just don't take any more today.
 
If you've only accidentally taken 8 mgs of clonazepam in just one day, then there is no reason to taper from that assuming you don't have an already existing dependency to benzos. Just don't take anymore, and don't try to drive or anything. That's a lot of clonazepam, but you aren't going to die from it.
