> NicYes, that's 1.5 mgs of Klonopin per day, taken morning, noonish, and evening. But you need to realize that I'm also taking sedating meds like Serzone, Amitriptyline, Neurontin, and Ativan (as needed); in conjunction with Adderall and Prozac. So, I have a number of possible drug-to-drug interactions working here, sometimes beneficially, and other times not.
I definitely don't think that decreasing the Serzone could hurt, other than some nausea or wooziness from the missed dosages. Upping the Klonopin doesn't seem all that serious to me, other than the concept of trying to withdraw from the med itself sometime in the future.
I am still taking the Serzone (400mgs) throughout the day, and I don't agree with the concept that one can take the full 24 hour dosage amount in one gulp at bedtime. Weird vision in morning, no kidding. Try spacing the Serzone out, especially on any day you don't have to do something like go to work. Keep everyone updated.
Wishing you the best!
