I've been taking Lexapro for about 3 months. The whole time I've been taking it, I've also been taking Klonopin, which I've taken for about a year now. I've read so many people's comments concerning Lexapro making them feel bad or whatever, but I've never experienced any negative effects. I love the way it makes me feel mentally. HOWEVER, if I don't take the klonopin with it, like this morning, I literally want to just rip my clothes off like the Hulk or something ya know? I feel tight chested, and irritable. It's really crappy. I had to take a klonopin to chill out, and sure enough, within say 30 min. or so I was feeling much better. Problem. I really wish I could stop taking the Kl. because I feel like sometimes it slows me down. But I love the effects I get with both medications together. In fact, I don't think I could take the lexapro without the other. Does this intense feeling w/lexapro ever stop??? Will I be able to ever take lex w/o the klo.? Or maybe I'm just addicted to the klo. and that's why I felt so bad when I didn't take it. Any opinions or similar experiences??
