> Hi all,
> Havent posted in awhile. Been under alot of stress lately. Personal issues, (break-up-work, etc.) anxiety's been in check, but the "blues" are really kicking in. Dont want to add a new med- currently on Klono. Question is- is it safe to temporarily raise my dosage?? I'm relectant- because i dont want to raise it for a little while, and then have difficulty going back to my usual dose. Talking to doc on Tuesday- but wondering- any suggestions???
> AndyI stink at benzos so raising the dose was always
the kiss of death for me.I would think that if the current Klonopin dose is keeping your
anxiety in check, then it would not be wise to raise the
dose in anticipation of getting an AD effect ??
It was my understanding from reading a lot of posts
on this board, that Klonopin dosage should only be
adjusted to maintain its desired anxiolytic effect?It will be interesting to see what others and your pdoc
think.Good Luck,
John
