> there is never enough information as to history and symptoms but here goes an alternative-The Wellbutrin is activating and may well increase anxiety. Are you on it to better manage the sexual side effects of effexor? Get off the Wellbutrin, wean yourself from the effexor while gradually switching to lexapro and stay on the klonopin at present levels with the option to occasionally increase it if you know there is a trigger for anxiety approaching. Also consider taking one .5mg a day rather than two .25mg, particularly if your anxiety is worse/better during certain times of the day. I do not know enought to comment about ADD. I second Phillipa's comments. Five years--whats the problem. Pragmatism should win out over theory and "what ifs".
The one .5 Klonopin a day is a good idea.
That's really what I've been doing. I hold out until about mid-morning and take it then. It seems to work better than the .25 mg twice a day...but by the end of the day, I'm pretty useless.Is Lexapro an SSRI? Does it have less incidence of sexual side effects? I've not heard much about it.
