I just started taking clonazepam last week. I took .5mg last Thursday, but it completely knocked me out. I've only taken it twice since then, .25mg each time. I think it might be working a little bit, but it might be working too well. I had a quiz in one class today, which I didn't prepare for, and I didn't do an assignment that was due today for another class, and, to be honest, it didn't really bother me that much. Something also happened yesterday that should have made me legitimately upset, but it really didn't.
The decrease in general anxiety is obviously a good thing, but the fact that I don't care about not doing my work is a big problem. It seems like I've gone from one end of the anxiety spectrum to the other. Or could it be that I still feel paralyzed by anxiety, but I'm just more calm about it?
I also take zoloft and concerta. Can clonazepam augment the effects of zoloft, or just cause apathy on it's own? Is this a side-effect that will eventually get better if I take it regularly, or is this just how I react to it?
Thanks for any info you have on this!
