In reply to Why is klonopin acting like an AD?!, posted by cherylann on May 14, 2004, at 10:01:46
>i only have GAD, only, anyway pdoc just recently increased my dosage from .5mg a day to one and a half a day. my question last month when i first started was has anyone on this ever had increased sex drive? no one dared to venture answering that one, lol. but since being on klonopin i feel like my old self almost still working on it.
I have moderate/severe depression accompanied by anxiety/panic attacks. The only AD's that work for me are the sedating (remeron, doxepin etc). Since they also make my butt the size of Texas, I decided to stop the remeron I was taking. Probably not very smart.
> Now, I'm just taking 1 mg of klonopin at night to sleep. It's taken away most of the anxiety, but is also having an AD effect. Not the full effect I'd like, as I am slowly pulling away from friends and committments again, but it's there none the less.
> I guess my question is could this mean I've got some underlying physical condition? I've had my thyroid checked and it was normal.
> I'm just curious why klonopin would have this effect.
