In reply to so scared i cant even leave my home (klonopin), posted by alienatari on April 4, 2005, at 20:45:32
First of all - sorry you're feeling so badly. I've been in the same position and took a leave of absence last year because getting out became so difficult for me.
I recently transitioned from Xanax to Klonopin, currently at 1mg that I take at night. I find it helps me sleep, though I'm a bit groggy. What's great, though, is that it has really helped in alleviating my anxiety. Now, over the course of a day, I may get a twinge of it (if that makes sense) but I feel I am functioning much better overall.
I also take Cymbalta and propanolol - both very low dosages. My dx is bipolar2, GAD, and panic attacks.
p.s. I initiated the change from Xanax as I found that it didn't last very long, my tolerance built up very quickly, and the after-effects felt worse than when I began.Good luck.
