Hi Viridis,
Are you being treated for anxiety, panic, etc. or for ADD only??
I'm still on 12.5 mg of Paxil until my pdoc gets back into town. He might try to increase it. I'm really tired of trying all these meds that just basically have the same side effects.
Did I tell you that I took Xanax about 20 years ago for anxiety. A regular MD put me on them but never told me to taper off or make a follow up appt. Back then I knew nothing about meds so I took the .25 mg twice a day or three times a day (can't remember)that he prescribed for about 2 months. I literally freaked out when I stopped taking them cold turkey. I thought I was having a nervous breakdown or something. It only last 1 night and that was it but it was scary. But again I never tapered down.
I love Klonopin though. I know what your saying about a lot of people having a very difficult time coming off AD'S (and yet so many docs are against Benzo's).
