Thanks everyone for your advice! The past month has been a nightmare!! Well, like a dum dum, I was breaking off teeny tiny chunks of the Klonopin at first because unfortunately I am med phobic :( Finally, I got brave and I took .25 klonopin last night .And to my surprise, it WORKED!! My panic was gone!! I don't want to use klonopin long term, but if the Klonopin can help me to eat, I am all for it! Due to my anxiety attack/breakdown on 7/22/10 I went from 134 to 120... Hopefully I can gain back 10lbs :)
Also,since I started taking the larger dose of Klonopin, my anxiety has subsided! Even my stomach issues have dissipated.. I am now starting a low dose ( as prescribed by my Pdoc) of Zoloft to keep my anxiety at bay...I am going to keep the Klonopin at a low dose (.50 in the morning and .25 in the evening if I need it..
I don't ever remember Zoloft being stimulating for me so hopefully it won't do that this time around.. If anything, Zoloft took me to a nice happy place lol! I stopped taking it the first time because at 50mg, I started getting Restless leg syndrome..I also gained weight on zoloft, but I was on birth control too so that may have contributed to the weight gain.. Oh, and eating too much junk food! LOL!
I was on Prozac for a couple years and it was horrible for my anxiety :( I will be posting updates on my progress :)
