I am prescribed Focalin and Clonazepam(Seizures & Anxiety). The Clonazepam has worked wonders for my sleep habits and I admit that it does help calm me down in the afternoon. The issue is that I am extremely irritable throughout the day even when taking the Clonazepam. I started keeping a journal and I have noticed that the Clonazepam doesn't seem to work when I take it at the same time as my Focalin (In the AM). I've even skipped a day of Focalin and only took the Clonazepam and while I still had anxiety that day, it was much more manageable. Is it possible that I am having side effects from the Focalin that are negating the calming effect of the Clonazepam?
I plan on making an appointment and showing my Dr. my journal and asking to try a new stimulant this week. I just think posting on a forum and possibly hearing others insight will help for some reason.
