Hello, I am new to the board and here is my story. I have been on Klonopin for about 10 years… way to long I know.. dosage has been .5mg 2 times a day or sometimes 3 times. I have been supposedly diagnosed with generalized anxiety and slight agoraphobia. It is time that I get off the Klonopin and I have been to a new Doc.. he put me on Lexapro 10mg a day.. I started off at 5mg for about 3 days then went to 10.. I have nausea and I have also picked up my anxiety… I know that these are SE of this drug but I was getting pretty jittery.. anyway today I too 5mg again and will do that for a full week then go up to the 10.. here are my questions.. I am slowly going to ween of the klonopin and I hope that the Lex will help with my anxiety.. I also have mild depression Do you folks think that this is the right route to go?
also when should the SE go away
Thanks
chaz
