In reply to Re: Klonopin excellent so far.... but a question, posted by HenryO on September 16, 2003, at 3:31:20
My pdoc prescribed me Klonopin for SP + minor OCD.
He said it's 100% up to me to decide whether to take this med or not.
Anyway, I'm still hesitating to take this med because of its dependency and body's tolerance.
He recommeneded to take .5mg in the morning and another .5mg at bedtime.
On last Thursday and Friday, I took .25mg each in the morning. I felt a little calm, but wasn't that effective. That might be because of Celexa withdrawal effects that I was experiencing. I still have some, but fortunately it's getting lessened everyday.
Today, I took .5mg in the morning and .25mg at bedtime (a few minutes ago).
.5mg was much more effective. I could concentrate on what I must do. However, I was questioning if the new feeling was normal...maybe cuz I have been with this anxiety disorder for too long. What I'm saying is that I'm not used to this comfortable feeling...so I was a little confused about that.
So, have you been taking .5mg in the morning and .5mg at bedtime, too?
If you have, how long did it take to make you feel perfectly normal.
I mean, if you have had anxiety disorder for a long time, you must have been anxious for a long time. Then, you take the pill that makes you feel less anxious. I think it might have surprised or confused you because you got the comfort, that you haven't felt for a long time, so suddenly....
It was my case....more precisely, today.
So, I'd like to hear about your experience that is similar to that, if it existed.
