PLEASE can someone give me some tips or advice to help with this weird anxiety state i am in all the time - its like i'm not 'in hell' but i'm not good, i'm just aware that i dont feel 'right' - no specific symptoms, just tired of 'analyzing how my body feels, it sux.

any advice would be appreciated, i'm really feeling it today.
thanks guys.

also i take clonazepam which i know has stopped working, is it possible to get 'withdrawl symptoms' as your body builds tolerance, but you dont increase the dose??????

i'm going to see the doc today to try an get off this stuff, cos i want a baby.

thanx again

It's absolutely possible to be in a sort of withdrawal on benzos, you are exactly right. The best thing to do is to work with the doc and do a slow taper off the Klonopin. As you know you can't be on it while pregnant. As far as the constant anxiety state, have you tried breathing exercises regularly? Exerise too? These can really help like you can't imagine. Also, make sure you are taking your B vitamins, they are crucial for your nervous system.

b vitamins, never heard that, i'll try it! i've been taking omega 3 fish oil, heard thats good too.

i do a lot of exercise really, i have a dog, and we walk a couple of hours most days, but i'm still overweight, and its a struggle to get motivated - do you think being overweight and eating the wrong food could be playing a part in my anxious state, i am terribly unhappy with my body.???

I would up the dose. Not sure what the max is on that one though. Glad your going to see doc. If upping it doesn't work then you'll probably have to try another one cause they can stop working after a few years or mabe even sooner.
Good luck!

been to see the doc, starting the 'cut down' dose of clonazepam 2moro, she reckons i'll be off it in 6 weeks! i dont know, sounds a bit optermistic to me, just have to wait an see!

upping the dose is just not an option, i know i'd feel better, but it will only make it harder to get off, and like i sed i want to plan 4 a baby, and u cant be pregnant and on this stuff. I AM SOOO DREADING 2MORO . . . .
