I started taking klonopin a little less than two weeks ago for chronic tongue pain. At first (for five days) I took .25 mg, and then for a week I took .5 mg. Gradually into the second week, my stomach started to feel like it lost all ability to digest food; naturally, I became nauseous. I didn't take a dose yesterday at all, and I am going through withdrawal, though it's not severe.
I would love to be able to take the klonopin, as it's the only thing that takes the chronic pain away, but I can't cope with the nausea.
I have a very unpredictable stomach to begin with -- doctors say IBS -- and my theory is that the klonopin exacerbated this. I wonder if I should just try taking .25 mg once a day and hope the nausea disappears?
