I've been using Klonopin for 7 years (panic disorder), Paxil for 6 years (mild depression and anxiety--although it didn't really help the anxiety). Last year I was able to cut my Paxil dosage in half down to 10 mg/day, but couldn't stop it past that on my own. I have cut my Klonopin down to .75/mg day. Now I am noticing I am definitely suffering from depression. I am seeing a psychiatrist next week and wondering what meds she may try on me. I am NOT very trusting of doctors or meds. I'd like to slowly completely taper off of Klonopin and see if I can manage my panic disorder without meds. And, I'd like to stop Paxil but I obviously need something to help with the depression. I'd like something with less side effects and a easier withdrawal than Paxil.
I'll let you know what this doctor tells me when I see her next Monday. Wish me luck!!
