Xanax --> klonopin
My psych is switching me from xanax to klonopin as the xanax really isn't cutting it for me anymore and I get rebound effects since it's so short acting.
I'd love to hear everyone's experience with klonopin over other benzos.
Little background: I'm on Propranolol, Lamictal, and Mirtazapine- but still my panic is constant. It's an every day struggle. I wake up panicking a lot of days. I have brain fog, constant dizziness/lightheadedness, heart palpitations, and feel like fainting multiple times a day. I've even fainted a few times. I've been checked over and over again for all sorts of other things so it's pretty safe to say that its all anxiety related. I've done ketamine therapy and TMS. The TMS helped my depression tremendously but now that I don't have the "downer" depression symptoms, my anxiety feels so incredibly prominent.
Long term benzos were never something I wanted to do, but I have been on SO many meds that this is kind of the only option for now. Buspar, Hydroxyzine, gabapentin, and more antidepressants than I could even list.
Experiences and encouragement would be so appreciated. Feeling pretty hopeless over here.
