I have PTSD and a fair amount of anxiety so I have been on clonazepam for a long time at a steady dose of 1mg twice a day. Before it was 3 times, but I lowered it.
Now I'm feeling more effects from depression and changed to very activating meds, including an atypical stimulant. This was mainly to address lack of energy and concentrate, but also mood.
I don't feel subjectively like I have more energy, but I am sleeping less and lasting longer, able to concentrate so something is working.
Question is, maybe I should reduce the anti-anxiety med because it is a sedative and see if the activating meds work even better. Or maybe not because those activating meds can cause anxiety and so the clonazepam is providing a balance.
I know I should ask my shrink, but curious since people here seem to know an incredible amount.
