Hey fellow babblers!
I've been taking clonazepam for over 12yrs. During that time I was 1st taking Nardil (phenelzine) then Marplan (isocarboxazid) then back to Nardil a year ago. Many other meds have been used during this time.
One thing I have always been aware of is the Klonopin can cause a depressed mood.
Now, during the 1st 3yrs I was under the care of Prof. David Nutt. One time when I was on 3mg Klonopin with 90mg Nardil I asked to come off Klonopin he said there was no need to titrate off Klonopin, just stop it because, quote "just stop the clonazepam as you are on phenelzine".I mean this came from 'The Horses Mouth'!
Who was I to argue?
So Thats what I did. Anxiety worsened (expected) but I followed what he said. 2 months later NO convulsion, tremors or fits. Still I went back on it for anxiety.Now I want out again. I'm on 120mg Nardil, I've halved my 4mg Klonopin the last 3 days. And just today I feel great! I haven't had any problems so far.
10 days time I plan to go half again, 1mg. Then, in the same fashion down to 0.5mg for 10 days then stop.
I'm also thinking that since starting Nardil almost a year ago, I might start feel it properly plus my other meds too.
(been on clonidine, was crap and depressing).
I take 450mg of bupropion too so will reduce that back down from 450mg to 300mg to help prevent fits.I haven't finished but cant think of what to add right now lol. what do others think? And please ask questions.
