I currently take about .5-1.5mg klonopin a day, and I also take lamictal for depressive symptoms.
My pdoc prescribes them if I ask him, and if he thinks I need them.
Some days I don't take any. Sometimes I take them for night terrors. Sometimes I take them in preparation for a really rough day at work. It just depends.
Isn't there some concern that benzos may aggrevate depressive symptoms?
my pdoc tells me that he is not worried about it being a drug I'm likely to abuse, but just that it might numb me too much to get much work done in therapy. Not to mention that they are sedating and that another med I'm on is also sedating.
