> No I haven't but found prozac quite activating years ago but was 20mg. The klonopin doesn't allow sleep? Phillipa
Phillipa, I've been taking klonopin for several years now; it still controls my anxiety very well, but it no longer knocks me out (I can take my full daily dose in the middle of the day with no probs).
Actually, my pdoc had me raise the klono dosage for a while when I started Prozac - "just in case", she said. Well, I sure needed it!
Prozac made me feel very wired and jittery at first, but that eventually wore off; in fact, it actually seems to make me a bit sleepy and tired for a few hours after taking it (been on it for 4 months). BTW, I'm quite happy I decided to stick with the prozac and endure its startup effects... sleeping less sure beats the sluggish, foggy, messy state I was in before.
Thanks for your reply :)
