I am scared to take the .5 mg of clonazepam my doctor gave me for anxiety. I am already sleepy and sick to my stomach. What should I do? I am having a very hard time today. I don't want to be like this when I go to my counsleor.

S2S,

First off, what time is your appointment and do you have someone to drive you to your appointment as well as bring you back home?

If you have a prescription for Klonopin and your tablets are .5mg you could cut one in half to make a .25mg dose to help ensure that you are not to sleepy - always check with your Dr. when adjusting a dose of your medication.

I suspect he would say this is OK, however, I am not a Dr.

Good Luck and remember we are here for you.

Kindly,

Kitt

S2S,

I am a Cali girl too!:)

I think that your Rx will actually help your nausea issue. Benzodiazepines are sometimes given for nervous stomach issuee.

My step father had very good results with Alazopram for this very issue.

I hope that you start to feel better and find much relief in talking with your therapist today.

Let us know how it goes, okay?

Thanks S.C I am actually feeling better after I journaled so I have not needed it. I got them to help but have been able to control things better. I will update when I get back. I will feel better I know I just have to get it done. Lol
