Hi all,
I've been suffering with extremely debilitating panic attacks for about 25 years. I've worked my way up to 8mg Klonopin over that time, and am now at 6mg daily. (Xanax was not a great med for me)
I still have anxiety, and the "beginnings" of panic attacks, but the Klonopin works wonders.
Many pdocs are now saying that it's too much, (tell me something I don't know) but only the benzos have helped thus far.
Is anyone successfully taking something else for severe panic attacks? (or know of something I could try?) My attacks do not subside over time. I need to take the Klonopin. I hate having to rely on this med, and it may only be a matter of time before it won't be prescribed for me. That thought terrifies me.
My other meds/conditions:
Cymbalta/depression & pain
Tegretol/bi-polar II & pain
Trazadone(prn)/insomnia
Lyrica 100mg/day for idiopathic peripheral neuropathyThank you,
Laura
