Hi Liliths,
>I had never heard of klonopin exacerbating depression until recently. What is the xanax dose that is comparable to 1mg klonopin? Again, finding someone to prescribe it is impossible as PRN is actually hoping to take the klonopin from me.
I hadn't heard of Klonopin exacerbating depression either. From what I read it usually had an antidepressant effect and that's what I generally found myself except it sometimes made me more emotionally unstable. Xanax and Klonopin are equally potent so 1mg Klonopin ~ 1mg Xanax.
>If I bring up naltrexone, the idiots at PRN will assume I am admitting to being an opioid addict as they are completely blind to off-label use.
Probably. I hadn't thought of that. I guess if they had that kind of intelligence they wouldn't be penalising you for taking hydrocodone in the first place.
>I can look into the Xanax once I know the ratio. It's 'possible' though not necessarily likely, my primary may write me some prescriptons. but overall, she is very resistant to taking over my psych meds, even though I have always been the one to 'suggest' the drugs to my pdocs anyway and between this board and my own research, could probably do just as well, if not better, dealing with just a physician and not some ego maniac
Could you think of something to imply that you think Klonopin may be exacerbating your depression - maybe bring a few studies or something (assuming there are any - I'll have a look)?
