Ok. Here's the deal. Please bear with me.
I have a weird case of social phobia, and I will explain. I have these "phrases" that continually repeat themselves and change throughout the day. ex. be confident, be funny, walk head up, eye contact, be the leader, etc. etc. So, I started on 2 mg klonopin (1 mg morning, 1 mg night). It completely eliminates these phrases, but I still have a lot of social anxiety.
I've been on Nardil before, and it helped greatly for me to be more social, and have less general anxiety, but it didnt do much for my "phrases.
The klonopin after 6 months has sort of made me depressed, so I decided to wean down on it. Currently I'm at 1.5 mg per day, but the phrases are back. (I need 2 mg / day to keep the phrases at bay.
I'm starting Nardil next week, and I'm wondering whether I should go back to 2 mg klon, or keep weaning down. The reason its such a big deal, is because it takes me literally 1 month to wean down only .5 mg klon, and I dont feel like doing that again if its not neccessary.
Basically, what I'm asking is this:
Does Nardil literally make klonopin more potent?
And will 60 mg Nardil, and 2 mg klonopin (which already makes me quite lethargic), make me to sedated to function at work?
In the past, Nardil was quite activating for me; but you never know with these combos.
I'd like some input from some people who've combined these 2 meds to good effect for their social anxiety, and what doses they were at.
Thank you.
I started klonopin about 6 months ago at 2 mg (1 mg morning, 1 mg night).
