This is the first time I am posting. After being diagnosed wih depression with anxiety, I am on .5mg Klonopin 2/day and just started Serzone at 50 mg 2/day for 5 days and then the doses will be elevated from there. On top of this I am taking Ambiene and will be talking this for 15 days until the effect of the Serzone kicks in ( I hope). I am very concerened with all this medication I am taking, although 12 years ago I had a panic disorder ( lasted about 1 1/2 years)where I can honestly say that klonopin saved my life. The anxiety is managable now but I cannot sleep unless I take ambien. With out it, if I am able to sleep I wake up at 11:00AM, 2:00AM etc. This last year was a year that tremendous amount of pressure for me and before I realized it I had over extended myself physically and emotionally. I have been on klonopin for two weeks and the doctor just added the Serzone and the ambien. Needless to say I am in a dull somewaht drugged state of mind ( but much better the the state of anxiety i was in) I guess I am just looking for reassurance that at some point I will return to a normal state of health ( with more awareness of what stress can do to the mind and body). Hope to hear from those that have been on these meds, hoping for some positive feedback...
