Dr. lowering Clonazepam dose and swim feeling the dose needs readjusted?
Swim is RX'ed Alprazolam (xanax) 90 a month as needed by his psych, and given Klonazepam by his Suboxone Dr. as the sub doc is against xanax for long-term anxiety treatment... Swim uses the xanax only when needed for instant relief of panic and prefers the K-pins.
Swim was on K-pin 3x a day, 1mg morning, 1mg afternoon, and 2mgs bedtime. His Dr. just lowered this dose to 1mg morning, 2mg bedtime, therefor cutting out the 2nd dose of the day... This has led swim to not want to leave the house, avoid all social interaction, etc... Swim always used the 1mg in the morning to get his day going and use the other 1mg dose sometime in the afternoon during stressful situations. Now swim does not have that 2nd dose of the day and it has made an impact on swims functioning in the 'real world'!!!
Swim definately prefers the 3x a day regiment over the morning and evening doses he is now on! The thing that swim is confused about is that he started adderall 2 months ago and assumes the Dr. will think that is the cause of this however swim only takes the addys when he has a HARD days work ahead of him and they're ABSOLUTELY NEEDED!!!???
Swim would MUCH RATHER take care of his anxiety issues than his adhd!!! Swim would be willing to come off the adderall if needed to get his k-pins re-adjusted to a comforetable dose!!!
Swim felt "alright" on his previous 3x a day dose but thinks 2mgs 3x a day would be the most effective!!!???
What swims question is, is has anyone ever been through this situation before, or could anyone shed some light on this problem?
Swim thanks all replies greatly in advance!!!
All have a great night and be safe!!! THANKS AGAIN!!! -bdb1-
