depression medication klonopin

I had a baby 8 months ago and had a very difficult pregnancy dealing with anxiety and depression. I took medication during it but was afraid every day of the effects of the medication. Once I had the baby I was like I'm going to tackle this problem once an for all. My major problem is anxiety, next is restless and agitated sleep, next is depression and maybe a little OCD.

The use of a benzodiazepine (Klonopin) daily over a prolonged period of time can lead to depression. It is a reported side effect, it is not common but yeah. You should never stop this medication without tapering it very slowly and talk to your doctor.

I have been taking prozac and klonopin for depression and anxiety. Other than this two medications, is there anything else (like supplement) can I ask the doctor? Thanks for your advice in advance.

I am a new member, I have been diagnosed with Type Two Bipolar Depression and I take 1.5mg of Klonopin a day along with several other medications. The Klonopin is very affective in stopping my agitated manic phases, which isthe most serious aspect of my illness. I have two questions: 1. I have been told that 1.5 mgs of klonopin is small dose of the medication and that it's not something that I should be concerned with. Is 1.5 mgs a small dose? 2.

I would like to know a good medication for high anxiety. My mother who is 83 has recently been getting bad anxiety for about 1 month now. She is currently on celexa for depression for 15 yrs, which helps, and for the past week on zopiclone to help her sleep at night which is helping. She is on klonopin .25 mg one a day and it does not do much for her anxiety. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there is a one year wait to see a psychiatrist.

Ryan posted that klonopin can cause depression, if thats in my case, when would i start to notice the depression? is 11 days too early to determine anything? i wonder if i should try to go back down to my normal dosage of .25 mg am/pm but then im going to start having really bad anxiety/panic attacks again. please let me know what i should do! any suggetions, thoughts, anything! thanks.

t really noticed a difference in my anxiety or depression. Should i be giving it longer or start to think about changing meds. Also Ive noticed alot of people on here take Klonopin for anxiety rather than Valium. I don't think we get Klonopin here in Australia. Ive been taking Valium 5mg in the morning to help but im worried that it will be hard to come off or it will stop working. I really need some help with this as im losing hope with these meds.

what are the affects with klonopin and marijuana together seperately and with adcute intermittent porphyia gastreoperasis ? does anyone have all these symptoms and what can i do? are klonopin and marijuana compatible? please help!!

My doctor prescribed clonazepam (klonopin) and also xanax, I take .5 clonazepam twice a day, every twelve hours and xanax 3 times a day .25 mg. does anyone else take both of these medications together? They are working but I was just afraid it was too much.

I had been taking Klonopin .05 mg. 3 to 4 times daily for general anxiety. About a 6 weeks ago I had a panic attack and my NP switched me to Xanax XR 1mg. 2 times daily and .05 if needed. I want to switch back to the Klonopin now since things are better I don't really care for the Xanax XR. I have spoke to 3 different M.D. And they tell me I can switch to 1mg. Klonopin 3 times a day and then eventually taper down. I guess now I'm scared to try it.

Im afraid that the twitches will invade my body again because every time I feel the zanex go away I get them. Is there any medication you guys would recommend other than zanex since I guess thats not a long term choice.

I would prefer not to be on a benzo, but I hate the Klonopin, it makes the depression worse. If I have found, by taking Xanax XR are a PRN, that it lifts my mood as well as calming me down. The Klonopin just drags me out. What are some of the pros and cons of making this switch?

Propanolol is a beta blocker so that sometimes can cause depression itself as it slows down heart rate. Think when the depression and anxiety began and your psychiatrist could see whether medications aren't treating it or may potentially have worsened it and adjust and/or change your medication as appropriate.

By the time third day comes without Klonopin wafer even though I take 40 mg of Lexapro my depression worsens and my anxiety worsens and roaming of thought about what is the point becomes prevalent, which is relieved if I take Klonopin 2 mg at least every second day. Therefore additional anxiety that she believes that Lexapro 40 mg should take care of anxiety and stop the need for Klonopin is present and brings us additional unneeded worry.

Is your primary problem anxiety or depression? Klonopin is a better choice for long term anxiety than xanax, but I still would like to know if your primary problem is anxiety or depression.

I'm taking a LEXAPRO 30mg, KLONOPIN 5mg and SEROQUEL 25mg cocktail everyday for my Depression/Panic Disorder/Anxiety and I can barley stay awake. I feel like a zombie. True I don't want to kill Myself anymore. But I don't really feel alive anymore either.

Will only add that klonopin is a longer term anti-anxiety medication. Therapy is always a good idea if you can afford it. At this stage I wouldn't worry about addiction. And as cj29 mentioned xanax and klonopin are not comparable in terms of dosing. Hope all goes well with your doctor.

Her psychiatrist should be made aware of the fact that she has a co existing addictive disorder as benzodiazepenes (the class of medication Klonopin and Xanax are in) are contraindicated with a person with a substance abuse disorder due to the potential of addictiion but only a psychiatrist would understand this in full.

In the interim I had to supplement with small doses of Klonopin to get through the really high anxiety parts of the day. Klonopin also helped with the jitteryness. Taking the Wellbutrin in the morning also helped with my insomnia at night. Is it worth it? I cannot speak for everyone but for myself it was worth it. I am now virtually anxiety free. I will also say that I tried celexa.

I take Lexapro for depression and anxiety. It has really helped me tremendously. I am also diabetic and take Janumet. I would like to become pregnant soon and was wondering if anyone had experience with Lexapro while pregnant/breastfeeding. Do you know if it's approved or known safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding?
