> RaineeWhen I was on klonopin long-term, it knocked the tar out of me. The SSRIs aren't the most motivating drugs, either. Have you had your blood level for Trileptal checked? My preference is always to get rid of the offending drug before adding a new one, but to each their own. I love klonopin for anxiety, but it makes me depressed in the long run. Considering that you are on three drugs, it is nearly impossible for someone to guess which drug or combination is the problem. What was the last drug that was added or the last doseage change? I agree with the last poster that 80mg of Prozac is awefully high. I would try to figure out what is causing the problem before treating it symptomatically, but if it comes to that, my suggestion would be to discuss adding Provigil with your pdoc.
