It's great to hear that you're doing so well. Because we both are on klonopin I have to wonder about the link there as far as lack of side effects. I have to think the anti depressant effects are solely from EMSAM as klonopin sure doesn't improve mood.
I dropped klonopin from 2mgs to 1.75mgs about 2 weeks ago. I went through some insomina (which happens every time I ever lower klonopin) but now don't notice a difference. I'm going to slow down the klonopin taper to .125 every 2 to 3 weeks and perhaps sit tight for a while at 1.5mgs.
My recomendation to you is to enjoy the ride for a while, not lower the klonopin until some time goes by and you settle into EMSAM. I'm re-thinking my rush to lower klonopin as it's just nice to feel good for the first time.
Again, great to hear you're doing well. Rob
