My pdoc said I can remain on the 1.5 mg of Klonopin for a while. His logic is that every time we try to make reductions in meds, it doesn't go well. (He's right). I don't think it's worth it anymore to try to tinker with the meds. Really, unless it's causing a life-threatening or otherwise severe side effect, I think, while being monitored by my psychiatrist for potentially negative effects still, I am good for now on the combination that I take med-wise. Anyway, I tend to obsess about whether meds are causing things like changes in my mood, but really, I've been stable for a long time. So, I think my focus is going to be more on the therapy aspect of things and how to improve my life in other ways than the medicine.
