> Hi Mitch and Chloe,
> Following your posts and funny thing, I just started taking lorezapam. Still on Remeron, lithium of course, but Klonopin wasn't doing it for me. Really needed something to settle me down when I ran out of lithium recently due to my mail order pharmacy taking it's sweet time. Klonopin has always mellowed me for about an hour and then I felt like the jitters were just under the surface. So, I'm doing this trial with lorezapam 'just to see'. So far it's much more sedating, and that's exactly what I'm looking for in a benzo. When I need to be active, driving, doing Costco, whatever, Klonopin is fine. But sometimes a girl just wants to chill.Barbara
Wow, what a "trip" you described when you took all your Li at once. I imagine your body thought that you were doubling the dose, and it just wasn't ready for it. Have you stuck with it, to see if your body adjusts, or was one day of that enough? I would be interested to hear.It's nice to have a benzo if you need it. And isn't fascinating how everyone's "mileage varies" with meds. For me, lorazapam wound me up! And K seems to do that to you after an hour or so. Very strange. So glad you got a good "chill pill." :)
