In reply to Klonopin and Zyprexa, posted by bark2323 on May 4, 2003, at 8:41:11
Hey Bark
Sorry I don't have any advice re tapering your klonopin, only a question. Is there any harm in tapering down slower?
I am having success with klonopin at a low dose, 0.25mg once a day, for the physcial syptoms of anxiety and very generalized anxiety, (meaning I get anxiety about everything.) My father takes zyprexa, 5mg once a day, for schizophrenia. It is the only medication that he has taken orally consistenely over the course of his illness, during the past 25+ years. The reason for this is that it helps and hasn't caused any negative side-effects for him. The most significant positive affect that I have noticed is the lowering of his anxiety and a more positive attitude (less apathy.)
So what's my point? I'm not sure anymore, just that don't worry about how the med is classed. If it works for you great!!
BEST WISHES
Willow
