My pdoc (very) reluctantly rx'ed a low dose of Klonopin for me months ago(which worked like a dream at first), but it has recently lost it's effectiveness for me and I feel a need to keep raising the dose to alleviate the panic & severe, penetrating, constant anxiety I experience. Thus, I have run out of my rx early this month and am feeling completely scared and screwed.
Also, I believe the more Klonopin I take the more irritable and down I feel--yet I am constantly panicky because my dose seems to be insufficient.
My pdoc refuses to raise the dosage.
I am currently (and have been for over a year) on Lexapro for seasonal aff. depression & anxiety.
I have also been on Adderall for about 2 years total now, rx'ed by the same pdoc.
I am incredibly scared right now--
the thought of even suggesting perhaps Xanax XR to my pdoc (for a break from the tolerance to Klonopin) brings on panicky thoughts! I know I must call tomorrow as I do not have an appointment for over a month and I need help ASAP, but what can I do? Maybe go to my regular MD instead?! Please help!!--LB
