Good! This sounds wonderful-I am so proud of you:)I hope the non-zombie-like feeling continues for you. I started taking my Effexor at night last night and I didn't wake up depressed-amazing why I wonder? really weird.....I am laughing here....I almost broke down after my doc compared Heroin to Klonopin too-even after she said it twice-sheesh. What you wrote here got me thinking, I am going to try to wean myself down on the Klonopin like my doc suggested. It's nice to see you, personally, can get by on 1mg-I don't think I've even tried and in MY opinion-the less the better.
I do hear you here, I am wondering Effexor, Seroquel, Lamictal, and Klonopin-I take all low doses so I guess I'm ok. It's weird how just a little chemical can help. Thanks for your reply, and DON'T go smoke a spliff:-/-post to me and I'm here for ya.
KristenI would honestly break down laughing if my PDoc compared Clonazepam to Heroin though.... I never found it to be that bad... and I've always used Clonazepam sort of the way that you would use Aspirin or Tylenol to treat a headache... It's great for short-term relief, but in our cases... well, in mine anyways, I KNOW I can't remain stable on just clonazepam so I just use a little bit of it... Only on my worst days do I need to go up to 1.5mg.. and usually it's just 1mg before bed. I've never gone as far as using 2mg in a single day... don't think I'll ever need to get that far into it... and both PDocs that I've talked to say that if I keep using it like I'm using it, there won't be any problem in my using it long-term. My PDocs have said that Seroquel should help me with my depression and anxiety... is that not the case? Yours came back? I'm thinking like whoah... Clonazepam, Effexor, Seroquel, AND Lamictal... that would basically bankrupt me... I wouldn't be able to feed myself lol...
Oh, and trust me... the minute that my PDoc told me that a nice portion of what is going on is from past drug usage, already mixed in with the horrible genes that got passed on to me... I quit doing everything for good. Well *fingers crossed* HOPEFULLY for good.... I'm doing alright so far... It kind of sucks though cuz my drug of choice has always been marijuana and I can't say that I'm not dying to smoke a nice spliff right now :(
Oh well... I'm already going to do whatever it takes to get me back on my feet and give me the power to take my life back and set everything straight
