Seriously. Klonopin is a benzodiazapine. This family includes valium, ativan, xanax etc....
I would not recommend xanax as it is seriously hardcore and addictive. Also very hard to wean off of.
Ativan is the least addictive and easiest to wean off of. I only use my ativan when my anxiety is really out of control. Kinda like the hairpulling I am having a fucking heart attack stage.
I started Seroquel a week ago and have had ZERO anxiety for the first time in my life that I can remember. I also take Klonopin, which is good for full blown panic attacks, but doesn't really help generalized anxiety much.
Good luck! B
I find your comment interesting... I am BP2 and have been on Epitec 200mg and Seroquel(Dopaquel)600mg for a while now. Initially I found it worked well but the side effects of the Seroquel have been not great. Now lately I ma finding that I am having anxiety/panic attacks and they are really hectic, not sure why. Has anybody else found that this has happened to them??
