> also - why did you up your dose?
~~~ I was put on it in March 2005 at 10 mgs. In September of that year, I had struggles (that's putting it mildly) with an upper back problem and it sent to me into a depression/anxiety spiral. So, it wasn't an out of the blue thing but situational. Upping the Lex dose was a good plan. I thought it might be temporary, but I felt all over better, it was decided to stay that course. It does appear to be a good dose for me.
> are you on xan anymore?~~~ I was a Klonopin gal. I stayed on it for several months initially which was REALLY important as I was a anxiety basketcase with startups. I also resumed using it consistently for several weeks when I upped the Lex dose, then weaned down to off. I have used K as needed since then but that has been very rare. I honestly don't remember the last time I took Klonopin. That's amazing to me as I think of it!!!
> how long did it take you to gain the weight?~~~ I said a year but I guess it's been like right around 9 months.
It sounds like you have alot of really big transitions to cope with and alot of stressful events going on. It is NO wonder you are emotionally pushed to your limits right now. I'm sorry for that....
Take care of you!!!
