Hi folks,

I finally went to see the PDoc this morning as I had heard, he was an older gentleman and really looked old school but I figured "what the hey, nothing to lose". He asked me a truckload of questions about my family history, the effects that clonazepam had on me, my depression, sleeping patterns, PTSD, OCD and phobias. Anyways, the interview (or third degree, LOL!) lasted for 45 minutes then he prescribed Celexa (once a day, at bedtime) and Trazodone (at bedtime, but I think I might hold off on that one till I'm sure the Celexa is not interfering with the Clonazepam). According to drug interactions sites, there's a minor drug-drug interaction between Celexa and Clonazepam whereas Celexa and Trazodone have a MAJOR drug-drug interaction.

He also adjusted my Clonazepam by dividing the 2mg/day into 4 dosages of .5mg every 4 hours or so, the way I was taking it wasn't working well anymore (1mg/twice daily) for it would peak and then die off (half-life is 4 hours) so this way, it'll have a continued effect and I shouldn't feel it's ups and downs so badly.

Cheers,
Gene
