hi again sweet Capri,
sounds a lot like what i described last time ... ... i'll call them lex induced anxiety attacks .. ... .. it is a very good thing that you can use your klonopin to get you by ... ...
...... .... .. actually i'd say my 3rd day was my worst ... maybe in a tie with my 4th(?) ... .. ... it is very different for each of us, though ... ...
i really appreciate you posting about how you are doing .... ... thanks!
i would take your 5mg right now, rather than try to skip to next morning ... .... well, "right now" is 2:40 PM CDT here in austin .... .... if it gets past 6 or 7 pm reconsider this suggestion (it is ONLY a suggestion) ... ... also try to estimate if you think the lex would be too stimulating for you to sleep and guess if the stimulation will have time to wear off before we want to sleeep ... ... i have been taking my 10mg at noon for a few months now and i believe that's too early for me .. ... .. but i'm not sure ... ...
... ... if you feel up to skipping to the morning, it could be just fine ... ... it is by no means critical to go with my suggestion to do it earlier ... ...
> Hi Jim,

> I had some weird side effects on Lex today that I have never had with other AD's. I felt so panicky I was scared. I took a half of Klonopin and was ok. As long as I have them for a backup I'm ok. Did you ever experience this? I'm on my 3rd day. I'm still taking it at night but I take 1/2 klonopin to sleep with it. Do you think I should skip taking it tonight and start taking it tomorrow morning instead?

> Capri... ... if you have the opportunity, discuss these timing effects with your md ... ... if he/she sounds clueless, drop it ... ... we can figure it out for ourselves if we have to ... .. ....
TAKE CARE !!!

p.s. those posts on the other thread can be very reassuring .... .... they were for me .... .... couldn't have made it without them ... .. hang in there! ... ~ j
