Wow ... I had no idea clonazepam (what I actually take) and klonopin were that different. So much about those "generics are just as good" claim.
All the talk on several threads about withdrawal symptoms makes me think back to my experience with paxil. Going down on that, event gradually, gave me bouts of anxiety and paranoia that were unbearable. I remember walking down Central Park South (a very busy street with lots of tourists) once and feeling like the world was collapsing inward on me, faster and faster. It took all my will to keep from running down the street screaming.
Anyway, once I started on Wellbutrin, it all disappeared. I'd forget it once, and the panic would slam down all of a sudden out of nowhere. In fact, the day I realized it was all over was a day I realized I had forgotten my meds and even by noon, I was still fine. Seeing as buproprion (sp?) under the name of Zyban is used with smoking-cessation as well, I wonder how it would work with other addictions? Anyone have any info on this?
Cheers,
Bob
