1448936 tn?1363206346 Yeah, I totally understand about the anxiety thing and needing the Xanax while getting off of the smoking. Klonopin is said to be the second strongest Benzo, just below Xanax. Klonopin takes longer than Xanax to work, but lasts longer because of the longer half-life Klonopin has. I am going to tell my doctor about it a week from today when I meet with her. I'm hoping for the best.
Avatar f tn I am taking Clonazepam (klonopin) and Bupoprion (wellbutrin) prescribed by a Psychiatrist. I am also taking Ultram for pain in the chest bones. The Ultram also produces a calming effect. These are my primary meds. However I wish to go off all the meds but the withdrawal effects of klonopin are horrendous. When I run out of klonopin I use my mother's xanax to reduce the withdrawal. I want to quit all medications but I don't know in which order to do it.
484508 tn?1290010544 Do you have access to another doctor that will listen to your concerns? When I initially came off of Klonopin, I came off of it too fast and went back to my doctor with my concerns. He listened and put me on a much slower taper for about a month, which helped tremendously. I believe communication is key and sometimes we do not speak up loud enough with our concerns...is your doctor willing to listen?
Avatar m tn Summer of 2000, I quit smoking, found out my girlfriend had cheated on me, the company I worked for was bought out which made things very stressful, I had been on a business trip alone which spooked me, I saw Final Destination before that trip, and I quit smoking cold turkey when I was smoking 2 packs a day. I had just turned 21 that summer, and then I started having my first anxiety attacks during storms. I don't know why, it was bad weather.
Avatar m tn However, i also just quit smoking cigarettes 4 or 5 days ago after smoking for about 5 years? Will it pass? Is it common?
941766 tn?1257796601 Does anyone have problems with habits and anxiety? I chew gum til I feel like my teeth are going to fall out. I can't quit just like smoking. The more anxiety I have the more I chew and smoke. I started chewing gum because of the dry mouth but now I can't guit. If I don't chew the gum then I clench my teeth all day. I do that at night when I sleep. I take 1 1/2 kalopin a night which helps some with the sleep but not much.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the Anxiety community! First, it sounds like you've taken all of the important steps to start addressing your anxiety. That's great. Definitely keep up with the therapy, that will be a great help to you. There could be two reasons why the medication isn't as effective as it could be. Klonopin is a long acting benzo that works best if it is dosed regularly versus on an "as needed" basis.
Avatar n tn If I am taking 1mg of Zolft a day and 350 mg of Welbutrin a day, will the side effects of going off Kolonipin be lesser. I have just stopped taking Kolonopin!
Avatar n tn Usually for long-term use they use klonopin, since it has less of a tolerance problem. If you go off, do it slowly and carefully and under the care of a psychiatrist who understands these meds.
Avatar f tn .5 mg is lower than 1 mg. I take .5 as needed. I take the 1 mg. at night sometimes, it relaxes me if I'm feeling anxiety to go to sleep. It's one of the few things that actually doesn't give me side effects but everyone is different. If Klonopin gives you side effects, maybe try Xanax and see how that works for you. Xanax starts at .25 mg.
1540869 tn?1351214013 t have many side effects it will be worth it , god how i wish medications did not have side effects!!!!!!!!!!! i always feel the need to go read all of them before i take any medication which i know is smart but then i get freaked out. Sorry to go on and on, but just wondering if there are any suggestions of a better mood stabilizer and better medication for bipolar disorder? Any suggestions let me know <3 OH and lithium i want to know about it!
Avatar f tn HI there! I'm sorry you're having a rough time! It's hard to tell what's what. Zoloft can definitely cause those kinds of side effects, and as you know, they usually resolve after a short time. Just a quick clarification, are you saying that you've those start up "jittery" side effects NEVER fully went away for you?
Avatar f tn I was taking Klonopin everyday very low dose like .5 for a few months in 06 and then two .5 for another 18 months through 08. I finally was able to just stop taking it routinely and now just take it as needed (like once or twice a week or nothing) Has anyone else found Klonopin to be addictive - that is did you feel jumpy, dry mouthed and on edge without taking it while on it daily.
Avatar f tn If you were taking an average of 1/8 mg (0.125 mg) of Klonopin only at night, the drug did not accumulate in your system. Given that 1/8th of a milligram is the lowest possible dosage that this drug can be divided into, there is nothing lower. Therefore, the answer to your question is an obvious yes. So long as you has approval from your physician, you can simply discontinue the drug without incident. There would be no withdrawal at this dosage level (nor would there be any efficacy).
Avatar f tn Im tapering off klonopin and xanax,i try not to do the xanax i made it from 1 mg 3 times a day to 1 mg a day and im down from 4 pills of 0.5 klonopin 4 times a day to 2 1/2 pills(just made the drop from 3 pills to the 2 1/2 this week,fight with spouse bad anxiety..........will it hurt to take the xanax till the added stress and anxiety calms down..my dr used the klonopin to get me off the xanax but im pretty much still on 1 mg of it..............
Avatar f tn Is it a tinny taste, like metalic? I get that all the time and I am on meds.
Avatar n tn Just two weeks probably won't be that hard to deal with, though everyone is different. But you seem to be saying you're already taking klonopin -- do I have that right? Because if you're already taking it every day for sleep, not a great use of a benzo, you're already facing the withdrawal problem.
Avatar f tn Just got put on 1 mg of klonopin 2 x daily. (clonazepam) yesterday. Noticed a little calming at 1/2 tablet, but took the prescribed 1 mg this morning ,and doesn't seem to be helping..anxiety is just as bad. Anyone have any experience with this med? Tks..
Avatar f tn My doctor switched me from 5 mgs of xanax to 4 mgs of Klonopin today and I stopped the xanax at 8am and it is now 12:30 a.m. next day taken 3 1 mgs of Klonopin and have more anxiety!!! Feel horrible just texted psych doctor no response don’t know what to do is this the safe way to do it???

Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
