Hi, I'm Alaina. I have severe anxiety, ADHD, and depression. I recently started taking Klonopin when I have a panic attack. I don't know exactly how this works and I'm really sorry if I'm being annoying.

A) you are not being annoying, at all! that's the anxiety talking. I have it, so I can relate.

B) my doctor recommended taking the Klonopin as needed, when panic attacks come on. But, ask your doctor to be safe. There are different dosages.

Have you tried it? If so, did it help? I stopped taking it once I started Paxil.

it's an SSRI, like Prozac and Zoloft. however, I had social anxiety - which Paxil really helps with, while the others didn't. Not really sure why, because they are all antidepressants. But, I've been on Paxil for about 2 years and my anxiety has gotten better. I also started going to therapy, which has really helped as well. I still have and feel anxiety, but it's not as debilitating as it was before.

That's great I hope it continues to get better.

I have also recently started taking .5mg of klonopin daily after my recent setback. Along with 20mg of lexapro daily. How is the klonopin working out for you? I also have a psychiatrist and psychologist for therapy.

I also have same. I used to be on a mix of paxil xr and bupropion for the anxiety ,panic attacks and depression. And I also had adderral and vyvanse( I had to have both cause I seemed to only get a single benefit from each one) for the adhd. Worked great for me. Until I became ignorant.

i am back on meds again and this time I am on effexor xr and clonazepam and bupropion for panic attacks, depression and anxiety, and going back to adderral and vyvanse for adhd.

I don't like the idea of having emergency pills like Xanax and Prozac. I prefer having medication that stays me all through the day
