My new pdoc just added it to my regimen to help with the anxiety I am still having on 150mg Effexor. I tried increasing the Effexor to 225mg, but didn't feel any benefit. I think Effexor has pretty muched wiped out my depression, but my doc thinks the Klonopin will help me a lot with GAD and OCD. Any similar cases here on the board?
He also said the Klonopin .25mg 3x a day may settle me down enough to not need my nightly 50mg of Doxepin for sleep. After my first day on the Klonopin, I feel much more "laid back" for a lack of a better term, but not sedated. I hope we have found a good mix for me now as I have just applied for a job as a Teaching Assistant at my son's pre-school, the most socially oriented job I've ever had the nerve to apply for!
Oh, yeah. I also had a pretty good "lay it on the line" type discussion with my husband tonight about our failing marriage without flying off the handle or becoming overly emotional. Now that's a miracle! I truly am feeling a bit inspired after Day 1 of Klonopin. :-)
