I'm very happy to hear you got in someone's face about your meds!
As I've said, Toots, I'm not a pharmacist, so I don't know if upping your Klonopin is gonna the trick for you or not. But obviously you're going to have to go through a bit of hell no matter what while the switch is being made. If the increase in Klonopin does not help after giving it about a week, I'd sure go back. I picked a week out of my hat as I do know that it takes longer than that for the INITIAL dose of Klonopin to reach a steady state, I just don't know if it takes as much time when you INCREASE the dose. At any rate, if you are still feeling like &*&^%$& after a week, I'd call him back and let him know. Hopefully the Cymbalta will be kicking in and you will begin to feel more "normal."
Keep us posted, OK? And if it doesn't seem to be working, we'll put out smoke signals for Ryan to the Rescue!

I not sure, Hon, but you sure as "H-E-double hockey sticks" need to get in front of one or the other of these docs and preferrably BOTH and ask them why they are playing keep away with your mental health!
I am not a pharmacist, and I don't know much about these particular meds, but in my humble opinion, you can't just start and stop these on someone's whim! So, I don't know if what your going through are side effects or w/d. But THEY should and they should NOT be doing this to you. Make sure you get them on the same page!
Please let us know how you are, OK? And hang in there, you're going to get this straightened out! Or I'll come kick some rear for you myself!
Peace
