I'm actually off the klonopin, and it's been about 6 weeks or so. I'm very surprised that I feel LESS anxious now- my best guess is that while on it, I was probably experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms. Getting off of it wasn't easy, but the end of being on it wasn't so good, either. I used zyprexa for a few weeks while I was doing it, and that made it easier- but I didn't like zyprexa and got rid of it as soon as I could. Anxiety has definately been a huge problem with my depression. It seems largely in remission for now, and I really can't figure out how I did it...which is why I keep wondering if my use of klonopin was aggrevating it somehow. I've been using Emsam for a while- I really can't say if it's specifically HELPING with anxiety or not- but it's definately not hurting. Personally, when I feel better, more active, and more competent, I feel less anxious. A lot of my anxiety has to do with worrying about being depressed and incompetent. So indirectly both adderall and Emsam are helping with anxiety, the way I understand what's going on with me.
