True, small dose of Klonopin (0.5 mg a day) has kept me free from panic attacks for about 6 months or so, but I am disturbed by the fact that it is hard to get off of. When I go without it, I get withdrawal symptoms that are just like a panic attack. I want to see if I can wean myself off it, and I have cut my dose in half over the last few months. I still get panic attacks though, which I will remedy with 0.25 - 0.5 mg of Klonopin or Xanax. I just started Wellbutrin this week also which is known to be activating, so I hope this isn't too much of a problem after the first few weeks.
All the best,
psychlover> Have you tried Klonopin (clonazepam) on a regular basis? It completely eliminated my panic attacks at a pretty low dose (daily); the side effects were minimal and disappeared very quickly. I haven't had to increase the dose so far (I've been on it almost 2 yrs).
