I've seen these two drugs in a lot of signatures here. I used to take klonopin before the episode this January. I've found that no one will Rx it to me again. Im hoping the pdoc I see 5/14 will help. I've recently gone down to 400mg Seroquel before bed instead of 1000mg. The side effects were unbearable. Idk if 400mg is a therapeutic dose or not but I went to sleep without a brick on my chest or restless legs for the first time in months. 1000mg at bedtime is excessive. I got my hands on .5klonopin and 1mg xanax today and I am feeling less anxiety just knowing I have these as a go to. I currently have nothing for anxiety so these two drugs should dramatically improve my social anxiety or even allow me to take a higher dose of Seroquel and fall asleep before the side effects of feeling like Im drowning kick it. I really hope this pdoc writes something for me. It's very hard to be on all these damn meds and feel like everything I take works against be with regard to side effects but with no benefits. My sister even said she's only seen me decline since the episode and taking these meds. There's been q big change, but it's just negative. Its like all the healing I went through the past 5 years, the counseling, the personal growth, all the work I did just got thrown in the trash. I feel like I am back at square one, me a hot mess, short tempered, short fused, unable to cope. Im so happy to have xanax and klonopin right now! Its only 1mg xanax and .5 klonopin. But I have no fast acting right when you need it type of meds. I see a lot of you do have these. I still don't understand why my original pdoc wrote the Restoril (benzo) and not klonopin (which I had taken in the past - rx'd by her) or another benzo.
