==================================================================================================Hi again
Glad to hear things are getting better for you. When the sedative effect is not wanted, it can be a real pain.
I mentioned that I take Klonopin for seizures & anxiety, and temper tantrums (yes, I cry, scream, slam doors, pace the floors, do & say things without thinking first). I have read & was told from a neurologist that some people take up to 19 or 20 mg of Klonopin a day for seizure control. I can't imagine. It seems like so much, but I guess it is an approved treatment for seizure disorders. I was just mentioning this because I have never met anyone who actually takes that much. I take 2 mg a day, & when I tell people this they think that is a lot. I do believe that the 19 or 20 mg dose is only for seizure control & not for anxiety or panic disorders (at least thats what I have gathered).
Anyway, thought I would just mention this.
Good Luck!!! Hope things keep getting better for you!!!
Jodie
