Klonopin

Hello, 1st post. I'm 65, and a lot of diagnoses have been tossed my way. BP1, GAD, CPTSD, OCD, now dr is considering AuADHD, but I'm tired of the labels. Some have helped me manage my symptoms better w/drugs but anxiety, esp the feeling of dread in the morning, never alleviates easily. I've been on Klonopin (3x daily) recently and am looking for support and info on how to reduce that med. A better life in terms of meeting base needs and not having to work so hard taking care of 3 disabled family members would help; it seems I'm slow about prioritizing self-care. Love and blessings to everyone. #Klonopin #GAD #reducingmeds

Hi All,
I made my first post the other day and the community was so supportive and I am grateful. I’ve dealt with #MajorDepressiveDisorder most of my adult life and HEAVY #Anxiety over at least the last 8 years. Anxiety that can’t be treated really no matter how many #Klonopin I take. I recently had such an outlandish thought take over me completely that it scared me enough to wonder if something else was in play. I’ve had a lot of what are typical bipolar symptoms when I put it together now, but never considered the happiness I sometimes felt as anything different, only that I felt sad for people who obvs weren’t as happy as I was at that time. I’m the one who brought up #Bipolar2Disorder to my psychiatrist, who prescribed topamax last Saturday. Is this enough time to notice any effects? I haven’t noticed any new or worsening depression (thank you LORD), I haven’t noticed any elation or happiness but there’s not too much to be happy about these days so I don’t think that’s a change. The main things I’m noticing are that my sleep is a bit disrupted (I also take ambien, lamictal, and klonopin at night which typically knock me out dead to the universe), I feel an outrageously heartbreaking sense of aloneness, and I feel like writing again, like I can’t get enough of it. My husband says I’m gaslighting myself and telling myself I have this when I don’t know if I even do. Surprisingly, this doesn’t seem to relieve the aloneness I’m feeling. Does any of this sound like what anybody has gone through? I have LITERALLY no one to talk to AT ALL, and it sucks so bad. ❤️

#help . I ran out of my Klonopin. I called the pharmacy yesterday to see about a refill. My doctor had been really good about refilling it. Pharmacist said she would fax over request. Went to pick up pills today. Not there. Called doctors office. They are on vacation until next Monday. #what if I can’t get a refill until next week. I took my last one yesterday.

Anyone who has used this Benzo did you have increased heart rate in the beginning?

I feel as I get older my anxiety and challenges evolve. some days I feel energized and need no relief from cannabis or klonopin (I take one or the other depending on how severe my symptoms are that day) I prefer everything to be natural.
I was doing so good this past week, and today it hit me hard. I have left arm pain and chest pain, everytime I eat I get nauseous and feel like my throat is closing up. so I panic. My usual methods of trying to be calm didn't help me today. my brain was so overwhelmed and constantly making think I was for sure going to have a heart attack or stroke. I reluctantly wrote in my journal, and took a lavender bath, didn't go to work and layed down to meditate with the headspace app. The meditation made me sleepy and I'm sure I started to fall asleep while deep breathing. but unfortunately for me one of my ptsd triggers is being too relaxed. so I popped up with my heart racing out of this deep meditative state feeling worse. Ended uo taking a klonopin. I dont take them every day but I have been taking them more often than I use to. it went from once maybe twice a month to 1to 2 times a week. i need to find a way to get over that specific trigger of feeling relaxed. #PanicAttacks #Klonopin #PTSD #HealthAnxiety

Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms at night?
Current meds are viibyd trazodone and klonopin. #SideEffects #Viibryd #Clonazepam #Klonopin #Medication #help

I recently tried stopping my anti-anxiety med (Klonopin) cold turkey. I went three days without it and all my paranoid and anxious thoughts began to sweep over me. I couldn’t tell what were irrational and what were rational thoughts. I kept on thinking my fiancé was cheating on my with my best friend. Though I never thought that before when I was on my meds so I had to realize that this was an irrational thought. I plan on weening off but I’m afraid of the waves of anxiety and paranoia that will wash over me if I do. Also, I’m in my second year as a graduate student and don’t want my anxiety to get in the way. When is a good time to stop taking anxiety meds? Anyone else experience irrational thoughts such as the one I had?
