In reply to Celexa and Klonopin, posted by Teri on August 17, 2001, at 0:32:53
> Hi I'm weaning off of Effexor XR because it made me too sick for two months. I had increaed it to 75mg and the side effects just got worse. I was taking Xanax to take the withdrawal edge off and went to a new pdoc yesterday who wanted me to take 1mg of Klonopin in the morning and then 2 at night, plus take 10mg of Celexa to help with the withdrawals of the Effexor XR. Has anyone had this combination of Celexa and Klonopin? I'm going to cut back the dose of the Klonopin tomorrow since the level I was at knocked me out so bad today. I'm not sure if I'll stay on the Celexa after this withdrawal period, especially if it causes more anxiety and insomnia. I have Chronic Fatigue and can't handle that stress on my body anymore. Does this combo work if I choose to stay on them? Don't want to be floating in a fog everyday. Thanks Teri
I asked my GP to refer me to a pdoc and maybe try to help me get off the Klonopin He said sure and gave me a Rx for celexa. Talk about insominia and anxiety. I lost a relationship because of it. My girlfriend said her life was stressful enough without worrying about me, so she pulled the plug. I've been to see the pdoc and the first thing he did was to start weaning me off of celexa and prescribe 100mg of imimpramine to be taken at night. The first night(last night) wasn't a great sleep, but the anxiety has left already. I'm looking forward to the future with this pdoc. He seems to know his stuff and has set goals for me!
