Elaine,


The only side effects I had from the klonopin has been tiredness.


When I 1st started the lexapro I was so tired, so I started taking it at night instead, I also had nausea that went away in about a week.


When I increased from 20mg to 30mg I did have some stomach cramps and pain but it only lasted about 3 days.


Is something going on with you?

I was on the same dosage, except for I only took klonopin once a day (.5 mg). As Heather mentioned, the only side effect i experienced too was tiredness and a little bit of groginess. other than that both those medications are known for being ones with low incidence of side effects.

hi heather- i enjoy looking at the picture of your children and yourself- it makes me smile- i guess i am just feeling a bit woozy and tired. i did tell myhusband and he was very supportive even though we have had many discussions about my doing it alone- i told him about my panic when he was camping and he was there two years ago when during a panic attack I fell down the stairs and hurt my back- my head landed a few inches from the radiator- i am just feeling down
i know you are going through alot and am really glad that you can listen and care
i care about you too

Elaine,


Thank you for the kinds words. I appricate it. You and I are the only ones on the saem combination of meds, its nice to have someone else on the same things.


I am happy that you told your dh, you really need the support. Maybe you dh could go with you to a Dr. appt. and maybe he would understand better.


I really hope that you have a nice weekend. I am hoping to but it's off to a bad start.
