In reply to help with meds, posted by suebird on April 26, 2007, at 6:55:59
that rhymes with bluebird. i'm kk and finally a question i may be able to help with.
i take klonopin, but i take 3 mgs a day. wowsa, that seems like a whole lot, doesn't it? but, i'm a big ball of nervous energy rolled into a pretty human girl. kinda like a black hole (though my memory is often compared to a black hole. go figure!)
first off, i want to welcome you to babble. and there is a meds board, wehre you will find people who are really smart (not me, i don't hang out there because i am not med smart at all. i often post my own med questions there and many people answer them adn i find myself thinking 'wowsa, these people are really smart!'). that's the 'psychobabble board, me thinks...
and secondly, sorry it took me so long to get back to this post and welcome you dear. i get 'spacey' soemtimes and neglectful adn i'm full of guilt about it. so very sorry dear.
anxiety is a hard thing to deal with, isn't it? i know i can't handle it at all. that's why i take so much klonopin (hey, it's legal, my pdoc (doctor) sees the need for it, so why not), i jsut can't take ~~~~~~~ANXIETY~~~~~~!!!!!
so, has the uppage helped you yet? i've always been upped by a whole 1 mg at a time, never by .25, but i suspect my pdoc (don't worry, you'll get the lingo in no time) realizes that i'd freak out if she suggested .25 mgs to me.
if it hasn't helped you yet (i think you develope a tolerance after a while, but don't quote me on that. you may want to repost this on the meds board dear), you may want to talk to your pdoc about upping it again? or adding something else to help with anxiety.
take care of yourself and try to RELAX!!!!!
kk
ps, hope to see you aroudn the other boards!
