Hi! I was misdiagnosed as bipolar II and put on a LOT of different medications (abilify, zyprexa, seroquel, neurontin, depakote, trileptal, celexa, effexor, klonopin, etc.) Anyway, I was re-diagnosed (I think accurately) as ADD with anxiety problems (social anxiety, GAD). In switching from doctors, I tapered off most of the BP meds except for the Klonopin, b/c it helped so much with the anxiety. Now I currently take 4mgs of klonopin each day (2mgs/ morning, 2mgs/nite)along with a 30mg adderall XR tablet (in the morning) and a 10mg Adderall tablet (in the evening, after the XR wears off). I'd like to taper the klonopin a bit, but I also want to keep taking it; it seems to keep me calm and focused...however, I don't want it to interfere with my adderall, which I desperately need. What would a good dose of Klonopin be to mix with my adderall, or is this even advisable? Would 1mg
3X daily be a better way to go? I would really appreciate some input and advice..thank you so much!
