>I ive tried cbt and clono. together, it doesnt work. I end up having inacurate definitions of the work I did when sometimes Im medicated and sometimes not. I end up thinking I can only do whatever it is while on the drug so it doesnt work.
List your anxiety-provoking situations from least to most. Do not take clonazepam for the less anxiety-promoting situations. Use clonazepam only for your higher anxiety-promoting situations. Work CBT with exposure and no clonazepam for less anxiety-promoting situations. As you are able to handle the lower anxiety-promoting situations without drugs, work your way up to higher anxiety situations and omit the clonazepam and use CBT with exposure until you are able to handle that new situation drug-free. Repeat and continually eliminate clonazepam from more and more situations until you only need clonazepam for a few situations. Repeat pattern until hopefully , you don't require any clonazepam for any situation. If it doesn't work, then just use clonazepam on a few occassions where CBT did not seem effective.
