I just went and read through old posts about klonopin and now I'm scared to take it. I gained 45 lbs on paxil, and couldn't lose it (after being taken off of it), so I thought maybe the depakote (er) I was on was making me hold on to the weight. My pdoc prescribed trileptal and klonopin instead of the depakote (even though I asked for topomax; he doesn't believe in it). I really need to lose this weight because I have a wedding to go to in a month. I'm scared the klonopin will interfere with me losing weight. Does anyone know if it usually causes weight gain? Also, should I be taking it for very long? He says because it stays in your system longer it's not addictive. Any input would be helpful. Thanks.
