Newwife,
I am on 10mg. lex & 1mg. klonopin. I take 1/2 klonopin a.m. & the other half around 5. I have been on this combo for 10 months & it has worked great for me. I have GAD so I also take 15mg. remeron which helps me sleep. You will be fine with lex & klonopin.

thanks, that helped me alot. does the kalopin make you tired or did it in the beginning? it doesnt make you feel "drugged" does it? i have been on 20 lex for like 8 months, but i feel like some days the mood swings are not good. i thought adding kal. would help. i am gonna talk to my doc, do you mind telling me why you take both. i am interested to know. thanks, jessica

Newwife,
Klonopin made me tired at first. I started out with 1mg. a day. I take 1/2 in the morning & the other half around 5. I take it because I have anxiety. When I came down with this stuff anxiety was my main culpert so I was started on remeron which is for anxiety & klonopin. Then last Jan. derpession set in & I was put on 10mg. of lex. I am super sensitive to meds so we started with 1/4 for 4 days until I worked up to 10mg. The first 6 weeks was very difficult-the lex made me very anxious so I upped my klonopin. As the lex started working I could reduce my klonopin to 1mg. a day. The klonopin doesn't make me feel drugged but the remeron does. Dr. wants me to go up to 30mg. but I am afraid of weight gain. I take 15mg.remeron. With this med more is less. I hope this answeres your questions. If I can be of anymore help please let me know.
Zena
