HELP ME Zoloft and Klonopin

Yesterday my doctor took me off the Paxil, Inderal, and two other meds. He told me to start taking immediately starting with half a dose of the 50mg Zoloft for the next three days.. Then increasing to one a day for a week.. And finally to twice a day after the week. The Klonopin dose is .5 and is prescribed once a day. He also prescribed Seroquel as needed. I took the half of Zoloft last night, the whole Klonopin, and later that evening I took half a seraquel. I feel like total crap today. I can't think straight, I'm nauseous. I feel foggy and very lethargic. Was it OK for me to go straight into using the new meds? He took me off Paxil because I was still having panic attacks, was VERY irritable and mean.. Horrible crying spells..Always had intrusive thoughts. Someone tell me there's light at the end of this tunnel. I'm tired of switching meds. I'm tired of not being the old, fun me. I'm crying as I type this because I just wanna feel better.

Hi MMII,

Did you doctor mention if he intends the benzo Rx to be a long term plan for you?

I am wondering, because it is usually not the preferred choice for a maintenance med. Perhaps this is only during your wean, and then you can evalute another daily Rx?

How about therapy? Are you currently working a program? This along with medication is often a winning combination for managing the anxiety long term.

There is hope! Finding the right med and using therapy/coping skills should find you making a great recovery, so hang in there!
