Or lamictal and prozac (which i have been taking for a few months) had anyone else experianced this with klonopin?? Or am I have withdrawl symptoms from the xanax. (i took it for about 5 years)...

I have never taken xanax......but
I have been on klonopin for about a year and half now. Initially, I was tired, I started taking
.25 mg at night, then increased to .50, when I am having extreme anxiety/mood upswing into extreme irritation, I take .50 during the day and it just helps me level out. If I take it too late in the day and I am not 'swinging' for lack of a better word, then I wake up the next day groggy and tired. One thing I have noticed is that when we increased to .75 my knees started to hurt.
Other than that, I don't think I have had too many side effects.
I do remember not having to do anything very important when I started it and made sure I did not drive or anything.
hope this helps,
Elaine
