Has anyone used Klonopin for anxiety for say - one year - and who was able to taper off w/o problems?
I can no longer take Adderall, and am having severe anxiety, and stuck w/taking xanax which I went from taking .25 every night for 2 months, to 3 or 4 a day in only a week. I'm not getting anything done though, because motivation and focus is gone again. I have to call the doctor tomorrow and start a new med.
I've been putting off calling my PDoc-I'm not sure what they will want to put me on at this point, and am procrastinating. I was thinking of giving Lexapro or Celexa a try, but am curious what the doctor would choose first. Only problem is, I'm not sure if I'll be able to see the doctor.
I mean, if I can't tolerate Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Prozac, and Effexor, and need something other than a benzo (xcept maybe Klonopin), what would an experienced doctor possibly prescribe next? Seroquel? What is the next course of treatment for anxiety for someone w/o depression/mood issues, aside from SSRIs or benzos? Would they want to give me a TCA if I have ADD? Or would they want to keep me on Adderall w/another drug for anxiety?
