Avatar f tn Hi , I have just started taking 10mg of Prozac and 0.5 mg of Klonopin , I started the Klonopin first and it helped me sleep so much better at night but now that I have started taking the Prozac I am having troubles sleeping again with my anxiety . My question is this normal ?
Avatar n tn I am able to live with my attacks (which can get really bad at times) and I actually have a fear of taking meds. I think the only thing I will take is a child's dose of tylenol only when I have a fever or migrane. I have discovered that taking Vitamin B Complex capsules have helped reduce my stress and anxiety levels. Also, I still love taking Flinstone vitamins, on top of the vit B complex. I feel great when I don't miss out in taking one a day.
Avatar m tn mammo, as you said, I will ask Dr. for more klonopin. Let me wait for a period of month and see and how it goes. Keep the fingers crossed. I will update my status after 3 weeks or so.

Avatar m tn I stopped Prozac, and my anxiety is under control now. I am currently taking .5 mg of Klonopin morning and night, and I am doing fine. Strangely, I do feel physically ill again (like when I was sick), but my anxiety is fine. My chest has been hurting all the time (GERD, chest pressure, and chest pain), and it doesn't seem to correlate at all with feelings of anxiety. The chest pressure and pain honestly feels cardiac related, but I've had that checked out thoroughly.
484508 tn?1290010544 hitman it has nothing to do with the prozac. it is the klonopin w/d...i gaurentee it. start back on the prozac and get a taper schedule from ryan for the klonopin. treat them as 2 seperate issues. if you experience anxiety attribute it to the klonopin withdrawal and stay on the prozac. this one i know about, you could say i am an expert. the hasty taper schedule is what caused ALL your symptoms not the prozac.
1029865 tn?1252418538 i currently take klonopin .5mg for anxiety as well as serouquel 50 mg for sleep and prozac 40 mg. but i get the most relief from the klonopin( i.
Avatar f tn I have already caught him once mixing klonopin and his methadone. But I am still very suspicious that he has do so over the week end at his parents house. I was just wondering if you could advise me as to what signs to watch for if I don't catch him right away. Like what the normal side effects within a day or two after that I would be looking for.
959034 tn?1253671476 I went off the Prozac and switched over to Lexapro. This has helped a lot with my general anxiety, and my psychiatrist has given me klonopin to help with the occasional panic that pops up. Prozac is approved to treat panic disorder, but it tends to have an "uppity" effect compared other antidepressants - and this can exacerbate anxiety.
Avatar f tn ll alternate between the valerian and the Klonopin, and only on as as needed basis. I am trying to keep my prozac at 40 ml, as more than that does keep me awake at night. I've nearly reached menopause, so maybe my good sleep of the long-ago past will some day return! Sorry this is so lengthy, Dr. Rajput!
708731 tn?1229049180 I would look at the birth control pill in relation to your thyroid medication and disease, and also the consequences of mixing the birth control and the Prozac. You may find that switching birth control will allow for treatment other than Prozac. Just a thought, but I think it has merit. Keeping up on your bloodwork and getting stable at the correct level is the best medicine. If Prozac helps short term, go for it. I'm taking xanax.
1448936 tn?1363206346 Also..forgot to add. My doc and I tried out Klonopin to see if a longer lasting benzo would work for me. I tried for 2 weeks and had to go back to xanax. The klonopin made me feel worse. I felt tired, out of it, no motivation, mental confusion. I absolutely hated it. So i dont know if maybe that has something to do with my heartbeat. Switching my meds around. And its also another reason why im scared to try the prozac.
Avatar f tn I am currently on 20 mg of prozac and .5 of xanax. The insomnia from the prozac is crazy. I have a prescription for trazadone but do not want to take because of the interaction with the prozac. Ive been reading about melatonin. Has anyone tried taking it for sleep? Did it help? And will the insomnia from prozac get better and how long would that take?
Avatar n tn well 23 days of pure hell went by and i was introduced to suboxone from my old boyfriend who knew i was in trouble. That day he gave me one 8mg pill, and a 1mg. Klonopin and i actually got out of bed and all the hell was over. I have a doctor know who prescribes me 2 of the 8's a day, along with 2mgs. of klonopin a day. Believe me, i have my days where i want to be back on methadone, because like most, it became my choice drug, but it is a love/hate relationship.
685562 tn?1447155231 Hello everyone, Ive recently become a member of this wonderful site, and it has been a Godsend in helping with my anxiety. To start off, I developed extreme GAD with slight tendencies of OCD from nowhere "one day fine, then wammo next day ****" I had all the physical anxiety..still have some of it, but much better now. Its been about 2-3 months since it really hit, on my course of learning...
517130 tn?1223039824 Nervousness, insomnia, ANXIETY, tremor, agitation, headaches............the list of side effects of Prozac is quite extensive. You say you've just started taking them, so you have anywhere from 1-4 weeks for it to reach it's therapeutic level. During that time you should expect to feel like you're still on that emotional roller coaster, but you should also begin to gradually feel a lessening of that turmoil. Your doctor was remiss in not telling you to avoid alcohol.
Avatar f tn I went to another Dr who came recommended to me, and she wants me to also take Klonopin and start taking Prozac while tapering off Paxil. I am scared to do either. I finally went ahead and tried the Klonopin (.25) but have only taken it in the morning and twice a day as prescribed as I don't want to be addicited or a zombie.
581310 tn?1253029550 My question is I was thinking about having my therapist put me on klonopin for the anxiety and switch my anti depressant. What anti depressant do you think would be good for anxiety and ocd? Also, I have noticed since being on the prozac that my hands are always shaky.
Avatar n tn I am currently taking klonopin for my seizures, zolof for depression, and hydrocodone for tooth pain. If all these meds are taken at the same time is their a chance of blacking out or short term memory loss? The reason I ask is because it has happened to me and I need some info on this.
Avatar f tn Mixing methadone xanax and klonopin can be a fatal combination .Try to convince him to speak to his doctor about what he should do .
