In reply to klonopin dependence immediately?, posted by TerraJo on June 25, 2005, at 21:30:46
> not sure i worded that title correctly. i just started taking .5mg klonopin (generic) "as needed". thing is, i absolutely have to take it twice a day and maybe even three. it is really working and i've found my anxiety socially gone and my racing thoughts have come under control. but i can tell when it wears off. i was never like this with xanax. i truly used it as needed, and it was helping with pa's but i was developing ticks and weird social phobia stuff. all of those issues have disappeared with the klonopin. i'm also started taking 10mg lexapro, but i don't think this improvement is from that.

I started Wellbutrin XL a few days ago for depression, concentration, and motivation. So far no effects from 150 mg, but it's way too early to know.
How much Wellbutrin do you take, and how has it helped you?
