Need some advice - input

As i mentioned before i am in the middle of 2nd round on Cipralex. Its been pretty difficult. I know it can take a while till it gets better and i am starting to feel ok later in the day from like 6 pm and through the night but the mornings and afternoons are vicious for me. Mostly very high anxiety and doomsday thoughts like what will happen if i dont recover and will be bed bound my whole life. Sounds silly but this is what plagues me.
Anyway my pdoc when he prescribed cipralex also gave me klonipn saying i should take it if i need it till the cipralex kicks in. I really dont want to. But maybe i am just suffering unnessesarily.
And then when Cipralex does kick in i will have to get off Klonipn slowly, right? How long do you have to take Klonipn to warrent a slow tapper off ?
Any and all input and info is aprreciated.
Thank you

The cipralex can take six to eight weeks to reach full potential. I would use the klonipin as needed. Don't worry too much about getting addicted. Just see if it helps. Once the anxiety is lifted, I am sure you will look at everything differently.

Forgit to explain. Was on Cipralex for 2.5 years. Stpped cold turkey with no SA for 4 months. Started feeling edgy after that and decided to return. Startup this second round has been gruesome. But people have said the harder it is during startup the better it will be after kickin.
Question: The reason i was originally prescribed ssris was panic attacks. The Cipralex seems to already have taken care of that. No panic attacks. But i think i am going through "it gets worse before it gets better" syndrome which the first time lasted almost 3 months. Terrible worry and chemical induced depression. (Hence me posting here as well as in anxiety section.) Would the Klonipn help for that also? or does just sooth panic?

Worry is the same thing as anxiety, So is depression,in some ways. Yes, Klonopin can help significantly. Take it--anxiety may be clouding your judgment.

With any brain-altering medications, do not stop, start, or reduce/increase dosage without a doctor's okay. Playing with dosage is a thing best left to professionals. AN inconsistent supply of the chemicals can really impact the patient negatively.

I hope you feel better soon.

I take Klonopin as needed and I'm not addicted.
