that's way cool MsCarrie!
my dr. wants to switch me from ativan to
klonopin, eventually.
what are some of the side effects that you
have? i really can handle just about
anything except more fatigue. blah.
also, how fast has your body built-up a
tolerance to klonopin? i take 6mg of
ativan, which is a lot. it used to work
but now it doesn't.

You will literally love it. It has no real
side effects. Although as an
Benzodiazapam, it might make you a little
sleepy for the first week till you build a
blood level. I take 1mg three times a day.
I was on Xanex for almost 4 years at a
whooping dose of 2mg three times a day,
which is for server anxiety. But when my
neuro though (through testing and MRI) I
might have had MS (which I do'nt) he put
me on Klonopin which also has a componient
in for MS. I was web surfing last night
and found that! Im going " Whoa! This is
awesome". I have to tell the gang about
this. I had no idea. I have been on it for
about 3 months now and have had no
problems with it at all. The side effects
are very miminal at the most. Good

Yeah, I actually had my first "up" day
today in about 3 days going now. It felt
so good to get up this morning and know
for now it was over. It's is really wierd
how we can feel it coming and then
emmediatly notice the change when it is
gone. I was singer Christmas Carols
etc.....Getting lights together for my son
to put up this weekend. What a difference.
I guess my Klonopin is doing it's job,
because my episodes don't seem to be
lasting as long as the use to when I was
on Zanax for over 4 years.
