In reply to Re: Went off klonopine cold turkey per pdoc. Worried, posted by cubbybear on May 2, 2004, at 23:53:16
I called the pdoc last night because I was feeling "drunk", shakey, mentally foggy and nauseated and didn't know if it was my lithium or the klonopine. I was outside alot yesterday and it was hot and I didn't drink as much as usual, but I am on a low dose of lithium. Anyway the call came back that it was probally the klonopine. Before I put a call into her I took what I thought was 1 mg of klonopine, but it was the green tab (2 mg). I then had the horrible relization that i had not been taking 2 mg all this time for at least 2-3 months (or longer), but 4 mg. So I must be doing suprisingly well, to get a little nauseated and shakey a couple times.
My pdoc said that if i wasn't feeling better today she would see me in an emerengcy slot (before thursday on my regular appt). I guess I will wait and see how I feel.
I feel so stupid for making that mistake!
