Terrified - need advice

Postby GARLAND3688 » Tue Jul 09, 2019 4:40 am

Hello...Maybe someone can answer my questions...

I have been on and off with Benzos, Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. I have always been so nervous that I would take them nearly every day, sometimes more than I'm suppose to and would often gain a tolerance. Recently, I was placed back on Klonopin after discussing with my doctor my feelings about my Xanax no longer working... I felt as though after an hour passed by I would start feeling sick and anxious. I thought maybe I had developed a high tolerance and was going through withdrawal... So I was back on Klonopin. I haven't been taking it for about a week, and started up again 3 days ago. I know that Klonopin is longer lasting, so withdrawals wouldn't begin right away, however, after about an hour I would feel anxious and break out into a sweat. I started to increase the dose until I was calm, and still an hour later I would feel those horrible feelings... Is it possible that I am feeling klonopin withdrawal so soon? I have never went any higher than what I was taking... I really don't know what's going on with me and I'm so miserable. Maybe its something else? Please, if anyone has any advice I'm all ears...

Also, I was wondering, I'm prescribed Seroquel. I have been off it for a few days (it makes me hungry) could that be causing these sick feelings? If I start taking it again would they subside and would I be able to take Seroquel and not rely so much on the Klonopin?

Thank you so much for allowing me to share my feelings and ask my questions. I would appreciate any feedback.

Welcome Garland3688 ,

I'm sorry you're going through this . You really need to speak to your Doctor . Medications can affect people differently and no one here is a medical professional . As this is an addictions forum , may I suggest you post again in the Anxiety forum ? You may get more helpful responses , but again - only your medical team can really help you with this .

I wish you well ,
