Lexapro and Klonopin Question?

Posted by BRC on July 6, 2004, at 16:18:11

Hi, I just saw my pdoc. today. He increased my Lexapro to 60mg for OCD and depression. I was on 20mg for about a year and then was raised to 40mg.
I know this is a pretty high dose and was wondering if anyone else had any success or side effects on hiher doses of Lexapro.

I have also been taking 4mg of Klonopin 2mg in the morning and 2mg at bedtime for anxiety for several years now. But I have heard and read horror stories about people who become addicted and withdraw severely from this medication. The med works wonders for my anxiety and I never take more than I am suppose to. So, I was wondering am I setting myself up for a future disaster by taking the Klonopin daily.

My pdoc. is very respected in my area. He has been in practice a long time and even has buildings named after him throught the city. So, I trust his judement. But I was just curious as to what others who take these meds and have the same conditions I do has to say.

Thanks to anyone who responds to this post.
