Trying to work out what's going on here .. I've been feeling restless since Monday, when I was admitted to the hospital for a stomach infection. Prior to that, I had taken small doses of Memantine, which I know can produce restlessness on withdrawal. However, it's been 5 days since I took my last dose of Memantine -- which was only a measly 2.5mg or so, if that -- and I still feel restless and uneasy. I was placed on clonazepam while in the hospital (0.5mg b.i.d.) and have started Parnate (10mg b.i.d.) today for depression.
I was thinking it might be best to allow the clonazepam to build up and reach a steady-state (my psychiatrist said it usually takes a week or so), but is there any chance the restlessness could be linked? It's rather distressing .. for what it's worth, the last benzo I was on for a sustained period of time was Xanax, and I had a full-blown paradoxical reaction to that.
