ksvt,
Klonopin is a potent, yet effective, benzo. Since MB said he formerly self-medicated, he isn't allowed to take benzos for fear of abuse; the same goes for stimulants. Also, since benzos cause dependency with regular use (as do many psychotropic drugs), MB would be well served to avoid them. (No benzophobe here ... I take a benzo, but my first pdoc never gave me another option, which I regret.)

>MB - I have no experience but it sounds like the Remeron is to counteract the WB at night. I've been taking Klonopin for some years right before bed while Ive been on 400mgs of WB. It's really worked pretty well. Klonopin seems to act for me like a relaxant. It doesn't knock me out and it doesn't make me feel drugged in the AM. You might talk to an MD about it.
