1-what is the DX you are treated for with this combo?(in my case : I am BP2 with mainly frequent recurrent anxious depr.)
2-what is the Effexor dose you are already on?(I have been taking 100mg for a month and since 4 days I am already on 150mg)
3-knowing that when starting an AD(Effexor as well)one should wait at least 3 weeks for STARTING to feel better,
what is the necessary time for feeling further improvement while increasing further on the dose?

> Effexor and Klonopin are fine to take together. Klonopin is a benzodiezapine (hope I spelled that right) and mainly for anxiety relief. Effexor is supposed to help anxiety and depression.
> I was told to take Effexor in the morning. I don't really like the idea though, because I am pretty sensitive to feeling a sudden change in my mental faculties.
> I am not taking the EX, I'm taking the regular.
> With the increase in Klonopin you will probably feel more sedated for a little while, but it is less adictive than Xanax, Valium, or Ativan. If it keeps the anxiety down, that's great.
