What my pdoc said

Hi Everybody - Well, I went to see my pdoc yesterday about all the worries and anxiety I have. She said it is paranoia related to a mixed episode I'm in. This is not the first time this has happened to me. It seems to happen alot when I'm in this mixed state. Today, I left a pot roast in a slow cooker and had to leave the house. The whole time I was away I was worried that the house had caught on fire. My pdoc prescribed something called Klonopin. I took it at 1PM yesterday and to be honest didn't tell any difference. I might as well have been taking a sugar pill. I'm supposed to take it up to three times a day as needed for anxiety. Have any of you all ever taken it? What should I expect when I take it? I haven't really noticed much of a difference. She put me on the lowest dose. Oh well, hopefully this all will pass....it always does. Atleast that's what I'm trying to remind myself.

Take Care, Jena

(((((((Jena))))))) I have klonopin for anxiety issues as well. I think the zyprexa has conquered the thoughts for the time being. But I haven't had a bad mixed episode lately. The last time I did is when I was prescribed the klonopin as well as ativan. But so far so good. I'm holding steady with just the few meds I'm on. Hopefully the klonopin will kick in soon for you. If it doesn't, don't hesitate to call your pdoc!!! Good luck.


Hugs,
