In reply to Just been Px klonopin, have questions, posted by SoS on May 26, 2002, at 2:28:20
Klonopin did not cause weight gain for me.
I did become addicted, in the sense that when I try to go off I get insomnia. I'm not addicted in the sense that I don't crave it, etc. It will depend on how often you take it and your own individual system whether you become physically dependent on it.It was good for anxiety.
Is there a chance you could start the trileptal first and see whether that is enough after a week or so and then just add in the klonopin if needed? If you start both at the same time how will you know which is helping, or which ends up having side effects?
Please don't try to lose the 45 pounds in just one month. A realistic and healthy goal is about 2 pounds a week, maybe 10 pounds over the month total. Trying to do more while changing meds around will only backfire, making you feel weak and sick, you risk making yourself sick enough to not get to the wedding at all.
You can start to get in pretty good physical shape in a month though, by exercising in some form 6 days a week.... walking probably half those days, doing something more vigorous the other days.
Take care,
kate
