HI I AM CURRENTLY ON 30MG OF CYMBALTACymbalta AND .05 MG OF CLONAZEPAM I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE ELSE IS ON IT. LATELY IVE BEEN FORGETFULL AND CLUMSY AT TIMES ITS A GREAT DRUG AND ITS A NICE HIGH FOR SOMEONE WITH ANXIETY.
I WAS WONDERING WHO ELSE IS TAKING THIS AND IF THEY HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS??
Hi. Last Sunday I started taking .5 mg ClonazepamtwiceTwice-a-day a day. I've rarely experienced a very mild "high" but have not experienced any memoryMemory loss Mental status tests loss (um, unless I've forgotten about it). Sedation has been the most apparent side effect, and I have noticed a sort-of unsteadiness (that one supposedly diminishes with time).
I'm not on any other drugs, though. People are different when it comes to side effects, but I suppose there could also be some sort of interaction.
If you have only an anxiety disorder, the Clonazepam alone is generally adequate. In fact, removing the Cymbalta completely may lead to a greater reduction in anxiety.
If you are taking the Cymbalta for a combination of depression and anxiety, the side effects of the Clonazepam will subside gradually. The side effect profile, of course, increases when Clonazepam is combined with another psychotropic agent.
If anxiety is your only problem, removal of the Cymbalta may be warranted. Speak with your doctor about the issue. Some Physchiatrists will only provide a short-term course of Clonazepam, giving the Cymbalta a chance to reach peak efficacy. In my opinion, Clonazepam is more effective in anxiety states alone. It also has a minimal side-effect profile when compared to Cymbalta (particularly, over the long term)
