Glad to hear you are beginning to feel some relief--yes, let's hope that the fighting is over.
As for the klonopin--I got mixed up! I do this all the time. I used to take klonopin, but it lasted too long--I took it at night for restless legs due to my other meds (effexor). It worked but then it didn't wear off early enough in the morning. Then I switched to ativan. It is the Ativan that I take now at a quarter mg an hour or two before bed. When really anxious or agitated, I take half a mg. but that is rare. The reason I'm clarifying this is that I think the klonopin was a bit less intense in sedating me right away, the way the ativan is. So I think I probably took half a mg of klonopin rather than a quarter. Sorry for the mix up. But I think if I had to tak a benzo during the day, klonopin would be better than ativan for me--I could stay awake!
Glad the combo is working for you. Also glad to hear you are curbing the shopping from getting out of control! I know the urge. Save it for a great homecoming party for your husband!
Be well.
