Six years later. . . Still on Effexor and Klonopin

Posted by anneL on April 9, 2006, at 22:30:30

I just realized it has been six years since I have been "hooked" on Effexor and Klonopin.
It is pretty strange to wake up one day and realize that I am thoroughly and completely dependent on two medications. If I am late by 4 hours of taking Klonopin (1 mg. daily), I will go into horrible withdrawals (skin crawling, terrible anxiety) and lord help me if I miss a dose of Effexor (225 mg) or I will have headache, vertigo, nausea and the worst sleep paralysis with vivid nightmares.
Besides being hooked on these meds, I am quite pleased with my life. It would be nice to not be physically dependent on medication. It scares me that I will wake up and find myself to be sixty years old (I am 46) and still on the same meds because they are so difficult to get off of. Anyone else with these feelings? :) AnneL
