Just wanted to thank you for the advice about taking clonazepam with celexa that you tagged onto your message to alex. I really like having people that I can ask about this stuff, doctors are so vague. You see, I've only been on the net for 9 days, (I know I'm a dinosaur), but I have a little problem with change, hence the need for the meds. Anyway, thanks again and ALEX: hang in there!!! Peace-- Tina
> Alex - Tina and Harry have offered a couple of good options. Ask your doctor about increasing the clonazepam dose (caution - will increase drowsiness) or replacing clonazepam with BuSpar. Either method is good, but the BuSpar has fewer potential long term problems (increased tolerance and sedation). You could also ask your doc about increasing your Celexa dose.
