In reply to Klonopin probs., Xanax XR??, posted by Laree on February 24, 2005, at 22:04:42
> My pdoc (very) reluctantly rx'ed a low dose of Klonopin for me months ago(which worked like a dream at first), but it has recently lost it's effectiveness for me and I feel a need to keep raising the dose to alleviate the panic & severe, penetrating, constant anxiety I experience. Thus, I have run out of my rx early this month and am feeling completely scared and screwed.
> Also, I believe the more Klonopin I take the more irritable and down I feel--yet I am constantly panicky because my dose seems to be insufficient.
> My pdoc refuses to raise the dosage.
> I am currently (and have been for over a year) on Lexapro for seasonal aff. depression & anxiety.
> I have also been on Adderall for about 2 years total now, rx'ed by the same pdoc.
> I am incredibly scared right now--
> the thought of even suggesting perhaps Xanax XR to my pdoc (for a break from the tolerance to Klonopin) brings on panicky thoughts! I know I must call tomorrow as I do not have an appointment for over a month and I need help ASAP, but what can I do? Maybe go to my regular MD instead?! Please help!!

> --LBHey LB, sorry to hear of your misery. I know constant anxiety SUCKS! However how much Adderall are you taking per day?
