In reply to klonopin and nausea, posted by incircles on August 17, 2003, at 8:34:12

I would take the smallest effective dose. If .25 worked for you, I would stick with that.
What is the sore tongue attributed to?

Hi, when I first started Klonopin I did get nausea but the med Tigan took it away-it worked well. Can you ask your doc for that to help with the nausea???
I have IBS and have been to H*** and back with diagnostic test after test for it and nothing except *resolving colitis* so I take Prevacid-that may help you too until you can find the dose of Klonopin that you can deal with. I really wish you the best and hang in there.
Believe me, I know it's uncomfortable.
Sorry.
