The Xanax worked better for me as far as a quick fix. I am now taking Klonopin along with Paxil. I take the Klonopin twice a day where I was taking Xanax only once a day. I didn't notice any sexual side effects with Xanax. I haven't noticed any side effects with the Klonopin either though. But I guess it affects each person differently. I did notice that with Xanax, it will make you very relaxed. Klonopin doesn't have that same affect on me. But, the Paxil does!!!!
Klonopin is usually prescribed more long term because of its longer half life. Both do a good job in what they are designed to do in my opinion, but ativan is usually prescribed in the short term. During all of this, have you made arrangements for counseling? Learning about your panic is a great way to confront it, understand it, and ultimately beat it in my opinion.
And yes, there are quite a few benefits of klonopin v Xanax. Klonopin will stay in your system for 8-12 hours as opposed to the 4-6 hours Xanax will. Klonopin will "accumulate" and Xanax will NOT. This means that when your body runs out of Xanax, you're running on empty. Klonopin will always leave you with some reserve, you will always be "covered.
Can I take Hydrocodone 10/325, Cyclobenzaprine 10mg, and Tramadol 50mg together safely?
You should never just stop taking ANY kind of benzo, and most especially Xanax. You were on a high dose of a medication that is meant to be taken short term only, four months being the normal "max." You were on it for 6 along with the Klonopin, which I hope you took in divided doses, at least twice a day.
That you are still feeling "odd" after seven weeks doesn't surprise me. You can't undo 6 months of TOLERANCE by abruptly quitting these meds.
Muscle relaxants like carisoprodol (Soma), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and even diazepam (Valium), and clonazepam (Klonipin) are not narcotic agents, although the last two are benzodiazepines.
Ask your doc about dantrolene (Dantrium).
Heiferly, So glad to have you back. I was given an rx for klonopin. I didn't even try it as my Dr prescribed it 3x a day as needed then gave me 6 tabs. Then the therapist I was seeing at the time informed me klonopin won't work as needed and has to be taken regularly.not as needed. My Dr says that's not true. By that point I was afraid to even try it. Benzos aren't known to affect the sodium.
I was wondering what would be a better choice to take every night i cant sleep? drinking glass of wine or taking klonopin. a nurse practitioner prescribed me klonopin since she thought i had anxiety problems, which i dont think i have... but i'm just afraid taking both of them (not together of course), might lead to further problems... and wanted to know which one is better? thanks!
Hi. I am wanting to quit taking Cyclobenzaprine. I took 20mg a day off and on, like twice a week for 2 years, and then started taking the 20 mg every day for the last 13 years. I plan to wean off, and am wondering what to expect as of withdrawal symptoms. Also, does anyone know of a natural med I could take in it's place?
Based on the findings, Cyclobenzaprine HCl should be used with caution in subjects with mild hepatic impairment starting with the 5 mg dose and titrating slowly upward. Due to the lack of data in subjects with more severe hepatic insufficiency, the use of Cyclobenzaprine HCl in subjects with moderate to severe impairment is not recommended.
