I have taken clonazepam for 8-9 years for social phobia and it still works great, far better than anything I tried before it. I have planned and actually begun to wean myself off clonazepam but the returning symptoms have convinced me I still need it.
I have been on Remeron even longer, since -98, with only a couple of months off it, I have a pretty good idea how it affects me.
When I started bupropion two months ago it energized me from the first pill, but has now kind of lost its "momentum". Maybe I need to reinstate cipralex or something. I actually switched cipralex for bupropion, perhaps I felt so good when I started bupropion because of the cipralex that was still in my body?
Also, discontinuing clonazepam is out of the question as long as I take bupropion. I know my pdoc is reluctant to mix three antidepressants, and honestly I don't like the idea either. I have been working six weeks now after a long sick leave, and I really would like to work now.Thanks.
