Clonazepam success stories?
by Trayceemae, Oct 30, 2007 11:05AM
Ok, So I want to get pregnant and have been on Lexapro and Clonazepam for 4 1/2 months.
Are there any happy stories out there? I just came off the AD 6 days ago and am having crying spells...I wish they would go away. I am starting to feel hopeless. I still have 1.5mg of Clonazepam to come off of and I am going to try to wean starting in November once..if my depression balances out. Can anyone talk to me about this? I have been thinking about dry cutting .5mg and then using water titration. I just would love some feed back...thanks

Getting off of klonopin should be done by titrating over 3 weeks, so that is a good idea for you to follow up on...regarding your depression, its important to figure out why you are depressed when you are deciding to have a child...what is going on is the question, rather than what medication to use. Think deeply, or get some help.
