Krissy, from what you said below, shouldn't a higher dose of Seroquel, Lamictal, OR Effexor provide a long-term solution for that problem? Clonazepam in that regard is sort of an "after the fact" solution. Like you need to be P'd off enough first that you need help settling down so you take it to settle you down. But why should you be getting that P'd off in the first place? You should have more strength than that over your temper and things that upset you. If that's what you're taking the Clonazepam for, I would ask my Doctor to see what other drug I could increase to take that symptom away.
I went back to taking 1mg of Clonazepam last night, and honestly, I think I should drop it down to maybe .75mg or something... was pretty rough waking up this morning and my sleep was DEAD... I think if I had to wake up to use the bathroom or something I would have been out of luck... would have just wet the bed... lol... Even after all this time on Clonazepam (2 years, 8 months) I can't envision what it would be like to take 2mg of it. Probably strong enough to knock out a horse lol....
Hey, one other interesting tidbit that I found out last week... you know Trazadone? How it's used as a sleeping pill AND as a form of an Anti-Depressant? In order for it to be effective as an anti-depressant you generally need to take about 300-400mg per day of it. Now, would that be actually working as an anti-depressant or would it just be enough to knock you into a completely dreamless sleep so that you completely forget that you're even depressed?
Anyways, today seems good so far.... I'll let you know later on tonight how things went. I think my body's getting used to the 75mg of Seroquel now... going to increase it to 100mg tonight just to get that final dose increase out of the way.
I used the Klonopin tonight because i let what a friend said to me piss me off. I really should be asleep right now, but I am up, and took 2mg Klonopin tonight when i could have taken 1mg. *crying*--(not really) -just frustrated that I give away my power so much. Oh well.
