I suffer from depression/severe anxiety. I've been taking imipramine 150/mg a day for a couple of years now with no side effects...but...it doesn't help with the severe anxiety. I tried buspar for a year and it didn't help..then I tried ativan. Ativan helped when I used it for very brief periods..maybe a couple of days but I couldn't take it long term because it was worsening my depression and making me feel extremely ill. So, my doctor weaned me off ativan and we both knew that I absolutely needed something to help my anxiety. I can't take any of the SSRI's so it was decided to try me on klonopin.This started on Dec19th and I have only been taking 0.5 mg at night when I go to bed. The first morning I woke up with a splitting headache ..I continued to take it and since that time I've had recurring headaches, lethargy, deepening depression and starting to feel very weird as if my whole thought process is screwed up...there are times through the day when I feel almost insane. Has anyone else had any bizarre reactions to klonopin? Even the bad reaction I had from taking ativan for longer than a couple of days was nothing compared to this!! I'm completely lost as to what to do..I know I need something to help with the anxiety but have no idea what I could take.
