Did you have to stop your anxiety medication completely for these infusions ?

I will be the angel on your shoulder when you go for your consult, okay?
I only had to abstain from buspar and hydroxyzine on infusion days. I was highly advised not to take my klonopin at all during the three weeks of initial infusions, although Dr. Dathorp assured me they will give you medication for your anxiety if you need it. Some people get nauseous so they'll give you meds for that, too. I never needed either one. It was HARD going without my klonopin, though it's gotten better. I only take it PRN anyway.
Try to relax if you can. One thing I did that really helped was I bought a weighted blanket and some lavender essential oil. When I relax under the blanket with the lavender it helps a lot, too.
Good luck and keep us posted. If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask.
