I have been on Prozac 10 mg. and Klonopin .5 mg. for about three years. About a month ago my doctor decided to switch me to Lexapro. I had to wait 2 weeks to start it. By the time I did I was having severe panic attacks and anxiety. The Klonopin was not helping at all. So... she then switched me to Zoloft and XanaxXR. NO HELP... the anxiety stayed the same but I was also groggy!! Now (on my own) I have switched back to the Prozac at 5 mg. and the .5 Klonopin at night. I am also taking a very small dose of Xanax during the day if needed for panic.
Has anyone had some of these same reactions? I wanted to change medications because I felt so numb and sleepy. However, I would gladly trade that feeling back to get rid of this panic and anxiety. Do you guys think I will level back out if I stay on the prozac/klonopin mixture.
OH - forgot to mention. I also have Epilepsy and take Phenobarbital 120 mg. for that. Just an added bonus.
HELP HELP HELP - I feel like I'm losing my mind with all this and am so confused.
