cymbalta with klonopin

He said that Cymbalta could initially CAUSE anxiety (which is apparently what I have), so the Klonopin will help with that. He also said I should take the full prescription for the Klonopin (.25mg three times a day). I'm really not wanting to go on all these drugs, and wanting to get better on my own. But it's been since the end of July and I'm so tired of feeling this way...shaky, unsteady, nervous, insomnia, headaches, etc. Any advice? Is there an MD in the house???

2 years ago I lost both of my parents. I had a breakdown and was placed on cymbalta 60 mg and Klonopin .5 mg at bedtime. I have been healthy for some time and have wanted to get the foggy feeling out of me. I titered off of the cymbalta slowely over 3 months and took my final dose in Sept of 08. I waited to make sure that I was ok and then Dec 10-15 stopped the Klonopin. Although I did have some problems I blamed lack of sleep.

Ok so I have been taking Klonopin along with Cymbalta for a good 6 months. I started off taking .5 mg of klonopin about 1-2 times a day. Naturally over the months I started to gain tolerence to the drug. Now I take about 1mg of klonopin but just once a day. I notice this is starting to lose its effectivness now. If I taper down slowly can I gain effectiveness? Also how are klonopin withdrawl symptoms? I was on xanax for a while before this and I got off it with no problem.

I had no withdrawals. After baby this last April my doctor put me on cymbalta 30 mg and klonopin as needed. Rt after the cymbalta got started I got intensely sick had major panic attacks, and manic feeling so I had to stop it. A week later I got weird symptoms like : panic attacks, increased anxiety, brain fog, constant dizziness, blurred vision ect. I took the klonopin and it wasn't helping and I refuse to take a higher dose.

t as severe thank God! As to when I came off of celexa. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and klonopin been helping me out so much!

There is no sane doctor that will go for a 6 months treatment with a benzodiazepine like Klonopin. Klonopin is good to control panic attack when they happens but you can't take this for a long term treatment. Effexor was the drug to use for a long term treatment. I might also suggest you try Cymbalta. It's a SNRI like Effexor but it's newer and from the same maker of Effexor.

t be a problem and I have heard a lot of people have success with the Cymbalta. I wish you the best of luck as you go through this and if you need support or to vent you can always come back here for a sympathetic ear.

So today I stopped the Cymbalta and went back to taking 1 mg in the morning of klonopin and going to take 1 at night. It really does help I must say. I was just wondering does anyone just take klonopin only as a daily medication for their panic attacks? I have an appointment wednesday with my psych doctor and see what he says to do.

I do not understand why the Klonopin would suddenly stop working. Now I am on Cymbalta and it does not do anything. The hazey, fog feeling is almost tangible, I need help.

Im on 30 mg. of cymbalta since may 8,Klonopin since april 23 and xanax since feb..tapering off xanax.......since adding cymbalta to this mixture my blood pressure has dropped as my heart rate has too........is this normal for this mixture? I dont like the cymbalta so far and i thought the klonopin was suppose to help with my tapering off xanax,i was suppose to stop xanax 2 days ago and so far i havent because im scared of withdrawals......

5 mg of klonopin to help with withdrawasl. si on that day i cut down to 2 mg of xanax,then on may 8th i cut back to 1 mg. was suppose to drop that one after wa week or to and be off but im still on it along with teh klonopin which he upped to 4 o.5 mg pills,But on the 28 he told me he thinks i will do better on no meds so know he is tapering me off the klonopin...........drop a pill every 10 days till off so im on 3 pills of klonopin as of wed.

thanks i did go to my psychiatrist and he said it was withdrawels increased my klonopin during the time it takes cymbalta to kick in he said i only been on the new ad for a aweek may take 2 to 4 weeks that i will be ok sound ok to you hon?

It can be uncontrollable crying or crying with screaming and yelling. I am on Cymbalta and Brintellix. I have Klonopin as needed. Is the Klonopin an appropriate/effective drug to prevent these overreactions?

Thanks for answering with assuring words. I am on Cymbalta and clonazepam now. But for me the fatigue and memory issues have gotten so much worse in the last 6 months. I do have a good doc, I have been seeing her for 20 years now. So what meds are you on?

I have three choices. Add buspar(trying this first), switch to Cymbalta or increase my Klonopin. I originally started out at 2mgs of Klonopin many years ago, so I haven't built tolerance quickly. I actually lowered my dose a few years back. What Is considered a large dose? I don't like taking benzos, but I wanna live my best life. Welcome all opinions!

i agree with the above post. i took cymbalta and it was very stimulating, it also made my anxiety much worse. you need to get off it.

i was on lexapro for 8 days dr stopped it put me on cymbalta and i was on cymbalta in 07 no allergic reaction i haved treid it since then but get scared and stop it if i was ok on it before should i have no problem with alergies and does anyone know of anyone thats been on cymbalta and klonopin and plus i will be going on abilfy on monday i haved fear of meds and think im allergic all the time i have just taking my second cymbalta 10 min ago and alreadt htink im allergic plus i seem unclear thin

Im trying to stop the xanax with the help of klonopin should have stopped it lat week but im scared. I need a med to help with my depression wandering thoughts and anxiety as even the klonopin isnt helping...and this dr i need to keep because i live in rural area and drs Pshy are so hard to find i drive 2220 miles to him its like nothing can help me Has anyone else stopped xanax using klonopin........

of xanax for 1 wek then stop it that is should be fine with the klonopin...i have been having fearful feelings and kinda wierd in the head and stiff neck i thought it was the cymbalta but then i remenbered how i felt last year when i stopped xanax cold turkey after being on it for years.......any advice on what i should do. I do have some 0.5 mg of xanax also. I fi need to taper more slowly. But i wouldnt think that being on it this few months the taper would not have to be to slow...........

Hi I'm a 45 year old male with a history of drug use alcoholism depression and anxiety. 6 years ago i was diagnosed with diabetes and stooped drinking beer, as my diabetes was under control (and now is 'gone' due to weight loss) on weekend i drank 5 large bottles of wine. The following Monday I noticed i was shaking inside.which ive never experienced before. so i went to my Dr. and they put me on .25 mg of Xanax . Another Dr.

If you are experiencing panic attacks, the best medication would be an antianxiety agent (a benzodiazapame) such as Klonopin. I take Klonopin for generalized anxiety disorder. At first I felt very sedated. This could have been due to two headache medications I was on (am off of now), or my body hadn't adjusted to it. Now, I'm not sedated from it. For me, Klonopin helps a bit, but for panic attacks, it's supposed to work wonders.
