hi. same problem as yours. the vicodin is making me crazy. the doc put me on a tiny dose of zyprexa at night. it is a phycotic med as you being a nurse know that. i took my first dose last night. i am so depressed and anxious at the same time. the doc wants ,to take it along with my celexa. i am on the max dose of it. she wants me to get me calmed down so i can wean off the vicodin. i am very afraid of this drug. but i know docs are using it with antidepressants to help with depression. so maybe it will work. all i know is that i need to get off the vicodin bad. i take 3 ,10mgs of it a day . it used to make me happy but now it is causing me to to have panic atttacks and terrible ddepression. i guess i will try it and see what happens. as i said i am to take a very small dose. i hope you get help with your depression .
Are you still taking the Xanax? Why did you switch to Klonpin? I have used both meds and did a lot of reading up on them and one thing they do say about Klonopin is that it can in some cases make your depression worst. Have you thought about asking the Dr to go back to the Xanax? Did you feel any less depressed on that drug? Either way I think you may be down bc of the withdrawls from Vicodin. Best of luck to you!
