I went back to Effexor after being off of it for two miserable weeks. The withdrawl is gone, but I couldn't take being mean and irritated all the time.
I am taking Wellbutrin, Effexor and I added Klonopin to take the edge off (only .25 2x a day).
My doctor won't be happy with me coming up with my new combo - they don't like people taking Klonopin because they say its addictive. In years past (with another shrink) I took .50mg of Klonopin everyday for 3 years and never took more than 1mg a day. It has never been addictive for me.
So, now I have to tell my doc what I've done - which is working for me.
I don't see the problem in taking a small dose of Klonopin.
They would rather have me on Trileptal - but I hate the way it messes with my hormones.
Any advice?
