I am in the process of getting off Paxam (Klonolpin) and am now down to .5 at night and will drop it to .25 next week. I was recently placed on 1mg Prozasin for nightmares. Last night I saw very positive reaction on the internet to Prazosin and I thought I would increase the dose to 2mg.

Today I couldn't work out what I was feeling. Am I feeling better or depressed or what? The more I thought about it the more I got frustrated with medications and I just don't want to take anymore. I dont want to take any meds apart from the Lovan. I want to know what I am feeling is me.

Sorry, just need to spit the dummy.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I wouldn't recommend adjusting your dosages on your own in the future. I also wouldn't "overthink" how you feel in any given moment, it's easy to overthink everything and make yourself more stressed out. Good luck in determining the appropriate direction for yourself
Thanks for this!

Yes, I am very good at the over thinking business. I do myself no favors by it either. Things feel more settled at the moment. I will just keep on dropping my Paxam as I planned and see what happens after that.

Be thankful you aren't on as many meds as I was on a year ago. I was on 12 psych meds at once and I didn't know what was from what or what was me, or who I was. I can relate to your feelings. Now I'm only on 3 psych meds and consider that to be a huge blessing. I can finally feel emotions again, and think, and be me. Not to mention I'm actually doing well now whereas before I was doing horribly.
