But as I said, right now I'm taking 30 mgs Parnate along with 1.5 mgs of Klonopin. Since I'm nowhere near the theraputic dose of the Parnate, I'm pretty sure my doc will authorize me to go up on the Parnate (or perhaps Parnate and Klonopin); and I'm going to ask him about going on Xanax XR the next time I see him on May 15th.
