In reply to Xanax XR vs Klonopin, posted by Torque on March 26, 2004, at 21:55:21
> I would like some folks to weigh in here and list what their favorite benzo of choice now that Xanax can be taken once a day. Please provide the following:
Gladly. :-)
Benzo: Klonopin (generic -- Teva brand clonazepam)
Dosage: 8mg dailyTime of dosage: 3mg @ 6:00AM, 2mg @ noon, 3mg @ 6:00PM
Why prescribed: Social phobia, avoidant personality disorder, agoraphobia, occasional panic attacks, mild-moderate generalized anxiety disorder
If taken in combination with other drugs list them:~Adderall XR (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine salt combo)-- 60mg in the morning primarily for depression, but also to treat adult residual ADD (downgraded from my childhood ADHD), impulsiveness, and hot temper.
~Euthroid (liotrix/T3 + T4)-- I was just prescribed this yesterday at 3 grains each morning for mild hypothyroidism.
~Avapro (irbesartan)-- 150mg before bed for Stage I hypertension.
~Seconal (secobarbital)-- 800mg as needed for sleep, or...
~Somnote (chloral hydrate)-- 1,500mg as needed for sleep.
~Delsym (dextromethorphan polystirex)-- 60mg each morning as an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), it prevents tolerance from developing to the amphetamines.
~Alka-Seltzer Gold (sodium citrate/potassium citrate)-- two effervescent tablets in water four times daily as a urinary alkalinizer to prolong the effects of the amphetamines.
~Tums (calcium carbonate)-- two Tums six times daily as a gastrointestinal alkalinizer to increase the effects of the amphetamines.
~K-Dur (potassium chloride)-- 100mEq each morning because I'm on a very restricted carbohydrate diet and barely get any potassium from my food.
~Many, many OTC supplements-- picamilon, a very potent time-released vitamin/mineral/green foods/etc. supplement (Ultra Vita Man brand), sublingual B-multivitamins, sublingual B-12/B-6/folic acid/biotin (TriVita brand), niacinamide, pantothenic acid, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, vitamin C w/rose hips, vitamin E, glutathione, resveratrol, selenium, chromium polynicotinate, zinc, magnesium taurinate, pregnenolone, CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine, L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, TMG (trimethylglycine/betaine), DMAE (dimethyl-amino-ethanol), omega-3, Supercritical Stress Advantage (schizandra, American ginseng, eleuthero, rhodiola, Curcuma xanthorrhyza, Alpinia galanga, turmeric, astragalus, ginger), Cholvex Advanced Cardio Support Formula (niacin, citrus pectin, soy protein isolate, phytosterols, citrus bioflavonoids, inositol), and many different individual herbs on an as-needed basis (except for rosemary, gotu kola, and myrrh, of which I drink an infusion everyday) such as American ginseng, angelica, basil, betony, birch, blue lotus, calamus, calendula, California poppy, cardamom, cedarwood, Roman chamomile, German chamomile, cinquefoil, clove, comfrey, coriander, damiana, dill seed, elder flower, eleuthero, eucalyptus, eyebright, fennel, feverfew, silver fir, flax, frankincense, ginger, hawthorn, hazel, heather, holly, horehound, hyssop, ivy, jasmine, juniper, kanna, lavendar, lemon balm, lemongrass, lemon verbena, lilac, loosestrife, lotus, mace, Mahakea kava root, marjoram, meadowsweet, melissa, mullein, mint, mistletoe, myrtle, oak, oakmoss, opium poppy bulb, Oriental ginseng, rose, rowan, saffron, sage, spearmint, star anise, sunflower, tea tree, thyme, valerian, vervain, violet, wild dagga, willow, witch hazel, wormwood, yarrow, and ylang-ylang.
Satisfaction level, 1 being the lowest level, 10 being the ultimate: 10
Duration on Benzo: 3 years
