I've taken Ritalin /methylphenidate for years for my ADD (10 mg 2x day). I don't have other prescriptions other than a standard female BCP (and there've been some temporary months with antidepressants- no ADs now). I do take tyrosine, fish oil, and vitamins.
Due to recent high stress events I developed anxiety. Last week I got a prescription for Trazodone for insomnia, 50mg 1x night. (From my GP: 1st available pdoc appt is in May- Yay HMOs).
The anxiety was still there and increasing, so yesterday I also got Clonazepam (generic Klonopin) for it: .5mg 3x day. So far I took one last night- 12 hours ago- and didn't take my Trazodone (even though doctor said both were ok).
Now I'm a bit worried about taking my first daytime Klonopin. Any generalities about taking Klonopin during the day? I need to get some work done and am worried if it will knock me out. Of course, the anxiety was keeping me from working- so less anxiety is very important.
I don't have to drive, so thats not an issue. I've already taken my first of two ritalins, so I could take the Klonopin and wait a bit to see what it does before taking my second ritalin.
Any thoughts on the combination of Klonopin, Ritalin and nighttime Trazodone?
