So I took ativan for 3 weeks and then was switched to klonopin for 3 weeks 1mg a day. It says if your on Klonopin for less than 4weeks you don't need to taper off. Do I add the time for the ativan...
I agree. I am getting off meds I just got on. Try finding some natural supplements that will calm your thoughts. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression and I have been on meds 9 out of 15...
That so sounds like anxiety. I had the same things happening when I was still working. Your mind is occupied until it is not, and then there's room for anxiety. Anxiety can bring forgetfulness, pins...
Slow fe is really gentle and does not mess with your tummy as much....
Vertigo. And low Bp can hit us all at different times, for no reason. Also any brief change in our hormones etc. I just had a dizzy spell and checked my Bp..it wasn't severely low.. But it was lower....
I have body burning/sting. Didn't think it was working. So psych nurse said to stop taking it after 4.5 weeks. I am on my 3rd day of cutting my dose in half. Having bad body sting and anxiety. Help...

Its weird the only time I've had it was being on an ssri. Hope it goes away like last time. Now I worry about the klonopin. I've only been on a benzo a little over a month, but that doesn't mean it...
Its like a sunburn/pins and needles feeling. The first time I got it was when I started Zoloft 7 years ago. It lasted for about 2 months. This time the 2nd day I was on Zoloft it started again. I...
Not sure. Last time I went thru this when I was 1st pregnant with my youngest and took an ssri I had the burning feeling. I guess they call it paresthesia(sp)...

I do. I think its the nature of the beast. Kinda like your looking at something but its not processing..also everything is just going on around you. We will get better....
I take melatonin at night to sleep. The parethesia/burning is what's getting me. I can only sleep till a certain time and then it kicks in....

Ya they know and my Dr says I won't become dependant on klonopin in 1 month. But I was on ativan for 3 weeks which is also a benzo. I've read what the withdrawals etc are and its scary....
I guess I just figured since I have only been on it 11 days that it would effect me to much. I'm so scared of being addicted to something.. Little on something that brings out more depression. My...
Skipped the one this morning.. Still feel the depression some, but I feel a little on edge and have that stingy/sunburn feeling... Think its my nerves. I get a zap of it when I wake up to n the...
Ya maybe I should try that. The klonopin seems to bring out a little more depression. My gp wants me to take 1mg 2x a day. That makes me zombied. Glad your side effects aren't to bad. I'm probably...
Not sure yet. They say some people can take 4-6 weeks. I get like a lite body burn feeling etc. Kinda weird. It will work in time. My problem is I have absolutely no motivation at all and thinking of...

I agree with what the Trina is saying. It never hurts to reach out for help. It takes a strong person to ask for and except help. You should be proud of yourself. I also have a hard time sleeping. I...
I know what its like to have your safe person away for work. Mine is here 2 to 3 days a week and gone the rest. Its hard to adjust to. I was fine with it before this last episode. Never bothered me....
Anxiety is a mean beast. Try putting a warm cloth on your face. Sometimes the cold feeling when I remove it relaxes me....
So I was at the norm TSH of around 2. Then they tested my thyroid cause I was having anxiety etc. My TSH was .37 and my T3 was 1.81? She said it is either due to meds it the weight I lost..which was...
Everything will be ok. We all have them. Breath like your blowing up a balloon. When you breath in thru your nose your stomach goes in when you breath out thru your mouth stomach goes out. I have gad...
I was on the 5mg for 19 days. Didn't seem to do much. Did have some yucki side effects...
I take .5 in the morning and at night. My other half suggested taking my dose tonight and skipping the one in the morning to see how I felt?!?...
Very good advice. Thank you...
Ir0k I have a hard time sleeping during the day. Guess it makes me feel more depressed. My days are harder and my nights are easier..odd I know. Do you take klonopin everyday. My gp wanted me to take...

Thank you you guys. This whole thing is a lonely road. I have a wonderful supportive family, but they've never been thru this....
They have me on 1mg 2 x a day of klonopin and 5mg if escitalopram. Is it normal to have more anxiety etc when you start the escitalopram?...
Yes. It happened last time I took an ssri. I've seen postings on the internet about people having it. I dont think its tied to MS or anything. Just curious if anyone on the forum has had it. I dont...
