>I develop dependence quickly.......
Withdrawal symptoms are definitely the major concern, all other side effects can be dealt with by d/cing the Klonopin.......which can be difficult due to withdrawal symptoms........
Although long term benzodiazepine treatment can be effective for some patients with chronic severe anxiety, you've already found a treatment which is very effective for your anxiety :-) Doxepin is causing you some side effects..... but clonazepam can cause side effects too. I don't doubt that clonazepam is likely to be effective :-)
I wouldn't be concerned about taking the first few doses of clonazepam........ the difficult decisions arise after you've been on clonazepam for a couple of weeks. Do you continue?
If I was in your position, I'd probably try taking 3/4 of a 25mg doxepin pill. Buying a BP monitor before starting Dexedrine is an excellent idea.
Kind regards
