I had to go back to .5 mg of klonopin last night as I couldn't fall asleep. I wasn't having this problem before the luvox. I broke it up into a .25 before bed and was having a lot of chest anxiety. When I woke up at 3 I took another .125 and since we are snowed in I took another .125 and went back to bed. The chest stuff has subsided but luvox just doesn't appear to be for me. I know it is early but the insomnia is a problem. At least before I was getting 4 to 6 hours of sleep. I may, this is kind of scary, but quit the luvox which would allow a cut back of the klonopin and just take some afte I wake up in the middle of the night. At least I could get about 7 hours that way. I do worry about depression from klonopin though.
I have often wondered if taking an ssri keeps one from depression if they take a benzo? Kind of a balance ya know?
One odd thing is that after i woke up I started to get hot and very warm. This has happened before and I thought it was just anxiety. Didn't you mention you had hot flashes or something? This was very odd. It was like I could feel myself heating up. I have a theory this body temp rise is waking me up. Weird that is for sure
cheers
