What do I do now?

Posted by Else on July 20, 2001, at 14:19:08

Right now I am freaking out a little bit because I'm turning into a nervous wreck again. I have a very high tolerance for sedatives and after a week on 2mg Klonopin daily I am back to being a nervous wreck. It should be noted that I also take 900mg Neurontin in addition to this. Now I used to feel OK a few days ago (and not drowsy at all mind you) but now I'm getting all worked up over nothing again. I recently (two weeks ago) stopped taking Wellbutrin because I didn't think it was helping at all and because it gave me those annoying tremors but now I am not so sure it was a good idea. When my doc asked what dose of Klonopin I though would be O.K. I said 2mg even though I really though three would be better (didn't want to look like one of 'em drug addicts, you know). Anyway. Now my doc is on vacation and I have to work next week and I am bouncing off the walls. Is this due to depression rearing it's ugly head because I dropped the Wellbutrin ( I'm ruminating but not really depressed at this point)? Should I go back on the Wellbutrin? Increase the Klonopin to 3mg like I though would be best from the beginning? What?

And while I'm at it. This is a question for all of you anxious/dysthymic people out there. What have you found works best. Years ago I was on a combo of Prozac and Xanax for 6 weeks but it's kind of blurry now. Are there other drugs that would have the same effect as Wellbutrin (non-serotoninergic, very important), without the tremors? Any ideas? Suggestions? I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want depression and I certainly don't want anxiety (nor anticholinergic effects and the like...) Am I asking to much?

I've tried:

Prozac (20mg die), Xanax (0.25mg tid), Zoloft (100mg die), Depakote (500mg tid), Effexor (300mg die), Wellbutrin (150mg bid) Neurontin (300mg tid) and now Klonopin (0.5 bid + 1.0 HS). I found that anti-convulsants were useless, that drugs that enhanced my mood made me more anxious (Effexor & Wellbutrin)and that drug that made me less anxious made me more depressed (tranquilizers). So now what. Please somebody help.
