good Job keep up the good work you can do it! I'am 90+ days clean and it's not easy at first but each day gets better. Exercise works wonders while recovering. Read about PAWS 1 bottom right hand column. It will help you understand what you are going through. GOD BLESS

I take it also. It helps but I wouldn't take more than that as it is highly addicive. Some people quit one drug only to pick up another. Be careful and don't take more than you are and you should be alright. Anxiety lasts awhile and can be a big trigger for relapse so I take them as I have relapsed many times from the anxiety. Honestly now that I am taking the Celexa I rarely take the klonopin bc I'm getting wonderful wonderful sleep again. The celexa is not a narcotic and not addictive the klonopin is both so just be careful. GBU, Corey

Tek:
The Klonopin won't hurt if you only use it for a short time and only when you need it.  Otherwise, you could end up with another addiction.  My doctor prescribed Xanax and Tranxene.  I took them only when necessary and got off the Tranxene quickly and the Xanax I took for a couple weeks and then weaned myself down with no addiction.  So, yes, it's okay, but be careful!  :)

Congrats on day 9. That's great. You will have some anxiety for awhile but stay strong...This is the part where you have to stay strong. I ask my doc for antidepressants which help with the anxiety and sleep. I'm taking Celexa. When you look up the thomas recipe and amino proticol as helpinutah recommended read PAWS 1. It will explain some very improtant things you will be feeling and going through. Good luck and stay strong. Corey

Yes, when I went off the Hydros, I went through horrible anxiety and then deep depression.  But, have you tried using the Thomas Recipe on the right bottom as well as the Amino Acid Protocol.  It might help you!!!  I'm taking supplements that are helping me.  Good luck hun!!!

Congrats on Day 9!!!!
