Hi.
I am also on Klonopin 5/8 mg in the morning and Neurontin 300mg at night. I have been able to lower my Klonopin dose after coming off the Celexa - I was taking 3/4 mg. I am lowering it very slowly though because I don't want Klonopoin withdrawal to throw a monkey wrench into the EMSAM trial.
I go up to 9mg tomorrow. When I told my my pdoc I was concerned about having to be on the diet (we had never discussed the possibility of my having to up the dose) he said that, well, "theoretically" I'd have to be on the diet at 9mg. Right now I am okay after having taken 2.5mg of Zyprexa a couple of nights ago. That will hold me for afew days.
Oh, I was wrong about side effects. I forgot about the hypotension. I get dizzy when I stand up, especially outside where it's hot. And my normal blood pressure of 110 over 70 has dropped to 95 over 65. I guess I will eat more salt.
Thank you for the input.
Marsha
