Hi,
I have ADHD (w/anxiety) and SAD for which I take a combo of Lexapro and Adderall. I have recently developed SEVERE panic attacks besides chronic anxiety. I have HAD to take more than rx'ed (.5 @ bedtime) because it's effects aren't lasting all the way thru my days (I have a highly stressful full time job and many probs at home, too). Now I'm prettymuch out but have run out faster than was expected.
My pdoc was extremely reluctant to rx me any of this med in the first place--i even had to have others advocate for me. I have been with him for years and don't know what to do--they had even rx'ed me this med once in the past with no problem--but docs in this area got a scare recently with a "benzo-liberal" (illegit.) doc who was "penalized" shall we say.
Now I'm suffering. and badly. I'm giving a call to my pdoc today and going to try to plead my case, but i'm a wreck about it. What can I do??
The Klonopin helps me sooo much, allows me to feel 'normal'. I know I need at least 1 mg total/day to be able to function normally. I am having bad panic right now and need some support, please. Anyone else been in this sort of predicament??
