I was diagnosed with BPII two years ago when I got sober. Since that point, I've hospitalized twelve times and I have tried virtually every med known to man and have been classified as med resistant. I also suffer from PTSD and anxiety d/o. Was on adavan(sp?) and klonipin 12 mg combined daily - which I am now off because of addiction factor. Detoxing was definitely the worst experience of my life. Anyway, I'm now on neurontin 600 mg daily and buspar 10mg. I'm supposed to take 20mg buspar, but I can't handle the dizzyness and stomach upset from 20mg. My questions is this... what is clonazepam and will they give it to me and should they give it to me for anxiety if I've already been through the nightmare of benzo detoxing (especially at the incredibly high dose that I was at) and is there another option for me for anxiety? Thanks in adv, I have an appt with new pdoc on Monday and would like to go in armed with some suggestions rather than have her arbitrarily change things. dari
