I was just sitting here thinking about one of your previous posts recommending a low dosage of Klonopin for anxiety. I'll contact my doctor next week about adding Klonopin.
I've taken the 200mg. of the SR...the verdict is still out until probably next Friday.
So you are only taking Wellbutrin & Klonopin?
I'm interested in hearing about your response to the TCA. Keep posting :)

I can say that the wellbutrin has not helped with certainty, so side effects be damned, Im walking out of my appt monday with either clomipramine or desipramine. I've always been a bit lucky with side effects anyway.

Ive never exceeded .5mg (except when I get on an airplane) and I've always been able to take it on an 'as needed' basis. If i miss a dose for two or three days I often wont realize it.
