Just thought I'd let you know how it's going 7 days after starting the Klonipin .5mg. Like you said, I stopped feeling spacey upon taking it, after day 2. I take it in the a.m. and don't feel anxious at all - it's amazing. I have been exposed to anxiety laden situations several times this week..and NOTHING, no adverse reactions. Just relaxed & calm. Like "bring it on"! A couple of days ago,though, I had what would normally be for me, a high anxiety provoking situation around 4pm
and I DID start with some of the typical mild anxiety symptoms, which built up fast. I was able to remove myself from the situation pretty quick, and then was OK again. But that made me feel like I might need to take that dose twice a day, or carry some around with me for "as needed" extra boosts. What do you think? Other than that, it's been the lifesaver you described :).
O yeah, today, I've been very tired and "low", for the first time since I've been off my AD. Maybe just a "normal" mood blip, but I really noticed it, since I've been so happy and even on the Klonipin all week. I was wondering if Klonipin can have that affect (or whether it's a response to the high anxiety of 2 days ago).
Thanks again.
