Hi,
I have been taking 1mg of Xanax (2x .5) a day and Luvox 50mgs a day for the past 8 years. Recently I wanted to try Klonopin to see how it would affect my anxiety. My doctor gave me the same dosage, 1mg (2x .5) a day. I have been taking it for 4 days now and I feel HORRIBLE! All my anxiety is back and I am getting no relief at all from Klonopin.
I am overweight, I am 6'4", 260lbs so I was wondering if metabolism had anything to do with it.
My doctor said I have liberty with the Klonopin. As in can take more if I need to, but I'm worried that the Klonopin isn't working at all. I mean does it take awhile to kick in? Is a week enough time to know? Should I take 1mg at night and .5 in the morning?
I really need some advice from my peers, you, on this. Have I taken Xanax for so long that switching isn't an option?
That gloomy feeling of persistent 24 hour anxiety has returned and damn I didn't miss it. But I also don't want to give up on Klonopin has I tried to give up on Luvox and Xanax in the past if it is going to work. My doctor doesn't want to put back on Xanax just yet has I have a habit of wanting to change my medications all the time.
Thank you very much.
