Should I quit Klonopin or Paxil first?

Posted by Jax on January 22, 2006, at 5:40:02

I'm on 60mg of Paxil and 3mg of Klonopin. The Paxil has effectively pooped out which is why I had to add in the Klonopin a couple of years ago.

Any advice appreciated,
Jackie

Word of caution..I've been taking klonopin now for about 8 years (4mg./day). Without it, I suffer from Panic disorder, agrophobia, insomnia, and anxiety. So I will take it to the grave with me.
It is not an easy drug to go off of. It stays in your system for a long time. I have run short a few times, and every time I have, I do well for the first 2 days, then on day 3, I start sweating and panic starts in. Paxil didn't do anything for me. In fact, I think it caused negative effects. It was easy for me to go off of that. But I was only on it for 9 months. (30 mg). But thats me. good luck and check with your doc.

---I say quit the Paxil first. Going off Paxil sucked for me and it seems the klonopin would help with that. Going off klonopin can suck too, but I don't see how Paxil would help there. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for the advice - will see PDoc (nm)
