I believe that when taking drugs for depression, most people take more than just one drug at the same time. Maybe you could go back on 2 mg of Klonopin, and take an antidepressant along with it. A Harvard study that I recently read recommended this strategy for people depressed on Klonopin.

> I've been on Lyrica for over a month now. I have managed to get off 2mgs of Klonopin at the same time. Though I've had moments where I thought I was getting better I'm not. I have not been able to tolerate a dose higher than 200mgs. I just feel drugged, tired, no energy and out of it.
>
> My social anxiety has returned as well as generalized anxiety. I've tried moving doses around which has not helped. I have not been able to take more than 50mgs in the morning as I feel it rushing on then just feel completely out of it. Yesterday I went to work and forgot to put my belt on. Last night I came home, put my sox in the trash can (instead of the hamper).

> I can't do this any more. My life has been a mess for a month, I want it back. I'm going to my doctor today thank god. I think I'm going to go back on klonopin for now even though I was depressed on it, but will see if I can get by taking 1mg instead of 2mgs. Perhaps he'll have other suggestions.

> I'm ready to try the only thing I haven't tried, an MAOI, but I've been hoping I could hold out for the approval of the EMSAM patch, try it before Nardil. It's my understanding it could be out by February.

> Anyway, thats my experience on Lyrica for those that were interested. Perhaps it may work for those that can get the dose higher than I could tolerate. I think giving the med a full month is long enough for me. When I've tried new meds I'm always conserned I quit before really giving it a chance. I wonder what its like to feel normal!
