I just wanted to get some thoughts on my situation with zoloft as it currently sits. I bumped up from 25 to 37.5 of Z 2 weeks ago. For the first 5-6 days I didn't really notice anything, but after that I started to feel less anxiety but more of a wired feeling. But in a good way, with more focus and energy during the day and less anxiety. However, it started to affect my sleep as well......just that buzzed feeling that won't really allow me to relax. I take 50 mg of trazadone and .25 of klonopin at night now, but that combination still only gets me 4-4.5 hours of sleep. I really like the lessened anxiety with this dose, but the sleep deprivation comes with a cost as well. So.....given I have taken klonopin in the past and had no withdrawl effects (took it daily for 2.5 months and came off just fine with a one week taper) I am considering taking some during the day to take the edge off. But, not a long term solution of course. I guess I would rather have less anxiety with less sleep than rested and more anxiety.
