Hi, I am a 28 year old female who have been fighting panic and depression ( had a panic attack the first year at university) with SSRI for almost 10 years now…Celexa (the best for me) and Xanax as needed made it possible to finish education and I have now a very good job with a lot of responsibility……that was not in my mind 10 years ago when anxiety and the depression along with it almost drove me into suicide!
Due to some sleep problems I tried 1,0 mg Klonopin at night (Rivotril here) for the first time a month ago, and my constant worrying was gone! I felt myself again! So know I think my condition has developed more to GAD with some panic and social phobia symptoms, and maybe some depression because of that. I stopped 20 mg Celexa in just 2 weeks with no withdrawal.
But I am so scared to take Klonopin regularly! Should I be that? Any advise and experiences on use and withdrawal from Klonopin is highly appreciated!
