hi all. i just have a question.

i know this may be a stupid question, but has anyone ever taken their meds at the same time? for example, take 1 pill 3 times a day. i have taken 3 pills at the same time and for that reason, my fuckin psych took me off klonopin and put me on some other shit. i feel like im missin out on klonopin cause it was workin so well for me. has anyone had this problem? and has anyone found anything better than klonopin?

i will have to try Xanax next time i see her. i'll ask. the new shit she has me on is Vistaril. i think i like it cause it makes me feel sleepier than Klonopin, but i still have enough Klonopin to last me for another 2 months.

I 100% agree with Beep about being *dependent* on the BP meds. Aren't we? So, as long as you take the benzos as prescribed, I don't see what's wrong with needing those as well.

I guess it's different for each person.

As far as lumping all the meds together at once, taking one time daily, I do have to break mine up into morning and evening, or I'll feel worse for part of the day. According to the medicine labels and info, that shouldn't be, but it is what it is for me.

I have to take Seroquel XR broken up, night and morning, as well as my Lamictal.
