Hello everybody.
I been on a benzo (clonazepam) on and off for couple of weeks. But still some questions remain to be answered by you the members of the benzo club:)
I am now considering taking them long term (months to a year or maybe more)
1. Does tolerance to the sedation and lightheadness develop over time? while the anxiolytic effect reamin present?
2. What would you recommend as a good combination with a benzo to counteract the cognitive "defeficts" of clonazepam? I have Selegeline HCL and Bubropion (Wellbutrin), I think either of them can help. What do you think? any other suggestions?!
3. I will be also on a SSRI to avoid the depression of Clonazepam. What do you think?
4. What about physical tolerance to the drug. I heard that withdrawal is awful. But I trust my Psychiatrist whoi maintain that careful gradual withdrwala (say 0.125mg every 2-3 weeks can do the trick). Any ideas? or experiences?
I am taking the benzo for Social Anxiety? Selegiline works on Catecholamines (Dopamine and Norepinephrine). The dopamine component might just help even further for the social realm :) Donna know, but I already read a post that someone got 100% relief from the combo of Selegiline and Clonazepam.
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
Hugs,
Christine of Sweden.. Hope my english was fine:)
