> Well said, Cmatt. How did you decide on Elavil, to help you with your Klonopin taper? Were you already on it, or was it indicated for the withdrawl?

Bob,I had previously had good success with Elavil, but it had not completly stopped the internal trembling of anxiety, and my doctor suggested I see a psychiatrist since he was an endocrinologist.
Long story short, the reasons in using Elavil in helping to get off of Klonopin was that it agreed with me, had helped anxiety/depression before, and the sedative component of Elavil was a plus, and it would not create the physical dependency like a benzodiazepine would.
I used the Dramamine to calm the nausea and equalibrium disturbance.
