Crap! Had the first real anxiety attacks today, in months.
Had to take 1/2mg Klon. to regain control, and function - had to teach an exercise class, this am(my usual total daily dose 2 x .25mg). Still have tremendous "butterflies" now, hours later. Will have to take some more Klon. probably.I don't think the 1500mg of trypt. is having any anxiolytic effect at all. It's not helping me fall asleep (I'm laying awake with racing thoughts for a couple of hours, even though extremely tired), but once asleep, I'm STAYING asleep, which is very good, until my alarm. I awake "fairly" refreshed. It IS helping my mood be a bit more even.
I'm 3 1/2 weeks off Celexa and on tryptophan. My Klon. dose has remained the same, as previous.I just don't know what to do. I go back to the Pdoc next week, for a review of Trypt., and I simply don't want to try anymore pharmaceuticals.
Should I increase the trypt. to 2000mg? (I have the OK to go up to 3000mg). Should I add a low dose of Melatonin at bedtime (2 or 3 mg) to help me fall asleep? ( I have some 1mg pharmaceutical grade Melatonin, just purchased, but unused).Any advice?
Sorry to be ALWAYS asking questions recently.
