Aside from a couple episodes of syncope, yes. I was doing well as far as side effects go. It did add to the sedation of the klonopin but the thing is it didn't work for me. I gave it time and was at 90mg for a while but saw no benefit. I was so happy to get prescribed it hearing it was the "gold standard" for social anxiety disorder. No doubt do I still believe that to be true, but like I said no dice for me.
Getting "tipsy" from alcohol, before Klonopin, would do the trick. Marijuana would exacerbate every single symptom to the fullest degree.Same goes for kpins. They really did the trick. Not so much anymore. I am going to try the compounding method. I'm not sure when.
*******If I taper VERY SLOW (I AM TALKING VERY SMALL CUT PERCENTAGES) if I start now (I have been reluctant to do so because it is school) what should I expect? I've read "if you become symptomatic (withdrawal symptoms I assume, I know what they feel like having gone a couple of days without it, not by choice), than let your body adjust to that dose decrease by staying there. Will my mind begin to clear up? That statment I have paraphrased implies nothing is felt if the taper is perfect. I am getting rotator cuff surgery in a few days (I'm too young! I wonder if this pill has had anything to do with the injuries!) and I don't know if the afforementioned slow taper's effects on the body would be enough to slow healing.
For the compounding method, how is one certain you have the same ratio of filler to medication in each cut? I understand all of the measuring, I think, but what if I plan on taking 5% of a cut say for two days... And it ends up I take more/less of the medication relative to one or the other days. Ex: .1 mg one day and .12543 the next?
