Unfortunately I have no anti-anxiety meds on board other than the Klonopin. I see a lot of people recommending propranolol. I see my pdoc today and hope that we can have this discussion. We are trying to taper me down on my seroquel quickly. Doing too many things at once is a little dangerous, but I need to be set (at least comfortable) with my new regime before August 31 when I begin teaching again. Luckily the taper off klonopin goes through the end of Sept. so it's slow.
