Questions About Klonopin / Librax

Doctor Gould, Ryan, or anybody else . . .

I have been taking Klonopin (finally) for the last three weeks. I started at .25 b.i.d. for gad, social anxiety, etc. I then moved to .5 b.i.d. after about three days. I am still tired, groggy, etc. I want to know if this should have abated by now?

I also have been diagnosed with IBS and have been prescribed Librax 3x day. I know that the Librax is the lowest dose. My gastro says it is safe to take both together.

Should I lower the Klonopin back down to .25 due to the Librax, or take the Librax as prescribed? I am concerned about over sedation as I am still lethargic now on Klonopin alone. I appreciate any insight.

Thanks . . . Casey

Thanks Ryan. I will discuss this with my doctor. Presently, I have yet to take the Librax at all due to the somnolence I am still feeling with the klonopin right now. Will this abate ? I am on .5 b.i.d. for almost three weeks. Also, do you think this is a good choice for gad, sad, etc. I have noticed the gad calming down, but the somnolence is a pain in the ***.

Thanks for all of your input. You help many people here on this board and I, speaking for the others you have helped, appreciate it. One last question . . . after reading everything I could on benzos because I tried every SSRI in the world, I decided klonopin was the last ditch effort for the gad and sad. Do you think this was a wise choice and do you know of people who have had success with this as a long term solution? You read all of these anti-benzo people on the net. Thanks again in advance.
