Rick, you're cool.
Thanks for taking the time to reassure us Kloni-pin-heads that everything is all right.
>"Klonopin is still my mainstay. But when I added back the Provigil, the theraputic enhancement came roaring back. Klonopin's the meat, Provigil's the savory seasonings and condiments that add flavor and zing. (Pretty lame analogy, huh?)"
Yes it is, but very funny and quite accurate for me also.:)
I have a Question, but 1st some background.
Here's my meds:
Wellbutrin IR 300 mg daily (2 X 150)
Modafinil 200 mg daily (morning dose)
Concerta 54 mg daily (one morning dose)
Klonipin 1.5 mg in the evening
Clonidine 2 mg in the evening
The Klonipin for me is the cement that holds my psychological walls in place. (I know-extremely lame, but VERY TRUE:)
When I asked my pdoc to increase the amount of Klonipin I take daily, he balked and instead prescribed Clonidine to take at bedtime with my Klonipin. Would this make sense to you?
This was about a month ago, and this is what I’ve noticed:
a) Clonidine knocks me out.
b) It seems to work much the same way that Klonipin does. Seems to have a catechalomine inhibitory effect—true?
c) Initially, a bit of cognitive fuzziness in the morning; less now.
Now, I don’t know much, and you seem to be well versed in psychopharmacology, so here are my questions:
1) You said this: “But when I added back the Provigil, the therapeutic enhancement came roaring back.”—Can you detail what the therapeutic enhancement is for you? Could you also let me know how much you’re taking and what your present medicinal cocktail is?
2) Have you ever tried Clonidine?
3) What is you’re opinion of Clonidine?
4) My impression of Clonidine is that it is used as an adjunct to other mood stabilizers, is this true?
5) Any opinions of my cocktail?
Your opinions, comments and humor are very appreciated by yours truly.
Tim
