i have been taking klonopin (1-2mg daily) for almost 5 years. after a couple tries with ssri's my doc prescribed klonopin. for me it was/is a wonderful drug. it helps with alot of my physical symptoms of stress. but my mind is still wild. i take that back, it has been running wild. i have had a number of instances over the past year that i believe would have been intolerable without the help of klonopin. while i felt stabilized for a bit i am not feeling so at the present and have not been for a while. my friends and family suggest i add a fast acting type of benzo, like xanax or ? something i don't know what. but should i layer those two drugs or an i digging myself into a deeper hole of dependency. i have no doubts that my body has become used to the medicine. i feel bad if i miss a dose, i know i would have to ween off the medicine to quit. that is what scares me. but i have a high pressure home situation and work situation and i have always been a high achiever even through my "disorders." so i dont want that to change, but i want to feel physically better. any advice from someone who takes more than one benzo or knows if it is a good idea. I do not think obtaining a prescription would be a problem, as my doctors trust me and are not benzo-phobic. Before anyone asks I am very healthy physically and have a proper diet and am in very good physical shape. So I couldn't exercise anymore to relieve my anxieties. Besides, I have been diagnosed with exercise bulimia, but i think thats crap. i never meant for that to happen. any advice, my friends say i wake up with a battery in my *ss. and its starting to hurt.
