Klonopin anti-manic?

Posted by sheilac on July 18, 2011, at 7:26:47

Tried and tried Lithium and I hate the hair loss.

Geodon is by far the best antidepressant I have ever taken (I know it is an anti-psychotic). It takes away my anger and irritability.

Taking it 2x a day is ok, but after morning dose I fall asleep for several hours and ingest waaaay too much caffine and Adderall to make it through the day. That's just stupid.

Do well on Klonopin as an add-on for anxiety.

Wondering about taking Geodon and Klonopin at dinner, 5mg Adderall XR in morning and Klonopin around noon to help with any daytime highness/anxiety?

Anyone use a benzo or Klonopin during the day to "keep a lid" on their mood? A traditional mood stabilizer seems too strong for me during the day.

I may ask my doc about this.

I do love how Geodon makes me feel. I didn't nag my husband or blow up one bit this weekend. It's so nice to realize a situation you normally would have lost your cool and due to meds, you didn't. I guess that means the meds are working.
