I'm on clonapin, and it's the only one that really helps me. I'm taking propranolol and perphenezine (a typical antipsychotic that can be used for anxiety) at my lowest dose and then going off both on tuesday because the propranolol caused brain fog and weight gain and the perphenezine caused weight gain. I don't need 3 anxiety meds, I just need one at the right dose. I was only on .5mg of clonopin for years and after a while that wasn't enough that's why the other meds were added, when really increasing the clonopin to 1mg at a time would have made a lot more sense and caused me a lot less grief in bad grades, poor memory, and poor word recall, and weight gain.
