> That wouldn't hurt! :)I'm off the clonazepam. Yesterday I took only 0.125 mg Xanax and nothing so far today, though it's still early. For the last few days I've been taking a break from selegiline to see what would happen. I don't seem to need much in the way of a benzo, my body feels better though tired, and I'm wickedly depressed. I'm thinking the selegiline is stimulating enough to make me need something calming and to make me think I was having withdrawal problems from the clonazepam...
