Augmentation with Clonazepam

Does augmentation occur with Clonazepam in the same way as it does with the dopamine agonist drugs? I have been taking 2 x 0.5 mg each night but now find they are not effective

I understand your tolerance for the dosage of clonazepam increases meaning the amount that initially helped will become less effective. You then have to increase the dose for the desired effect. However in my experience augmentation only happens with the dopamine drugs. I had augmentation recently and decreased my dopamine drug and although tet first three nights were awful te augmentation decreased! Had to increase my clonazepam to get there though
