hey everyone.
i've been on klonopin for 4 months now. i
took .25 mg in the am then again in the
pm. 3 days ago i started to take .5 mg in
the am and .25 in the pm because i want to
eventually be able to get to the target
dose of 1 mg. but since i upped my dose
i've been feeling more anxious and dizzy
and im just out of it. i had to come home
from work early today because my anxiety
wouldnt calm down. is this the meds or is
it all in my head?!
i dont know if i should go back down to my
normal dosage or just try to stick it out?
someone please reply with some advice. i
feel like im going crazy and i actually
had a full blown panic attack today for
the first time since ive been on
klonopin.
thanks, kay

You should report this to your doctor. You
could go back down to your usual dose
until you can talk with your doctor about
this.

Do tell you doctor. But you have to
realize that you body now has to get use
to the new dose and therefore regain a new
blood level. These side effects many or
many not continue. Every mediciane will
loss it's potancy after a time and have to
be altered. Once you have reached the max,
it most of the time has to be changed to
start dealing with the symtoms again.
Normally in a couple of weeks those side
effects should wear off. But, mention it
to you doc anyway.
