Hi, TIA
I am hiding in my house right now - had to leave work early - because I am having severe lexapro withdrawal. Because of my history, my doctor would not give me any more klonipin or valium or adavan. I have impulse control issues, and the last time he gave me a prescription for valium I took thwe whole bottle and then cut my wrists. Strangely, suicide was not my motive. I just snapped one day. I am very afraid of pills for this reason, but when I could control the impulses and take one pill when I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin, I believe they saved my life. How long have you been off lexapro? What withdrawal symptoms do you have? How many klonipin are you taking? I think if they help you, take them, go for it. If you find yourself taking them as a replacement for daily anti-anxiety meds as opposed to helping you through a hard time, then talk to your doctor. There are also herbal remedies. And you can always get a kitten :) They help me :)
