On clonzepam yet still anxious especially period time

[Rachelslobber]

I struggle so much when my period is due yet I'm on clonzepam am I allowed to take diazapam if I'm really struggling

[Entropy]

Clonzepam and diazepam are in the same family of drug so you don't want to mix them unless you get approval from your doc. Sorry you're struggling

That's what I was told then read that some people top up with diazapam when really needed...I'm on beta block as 3 times a day but cut 2 out for the last year...shall I take a extra beta blocker if really bad? Its only on period I really suffer

I was on beta blocked 3 times a day but cut down to 1 the doc doesn't know I've cut down shall I take one of those on period when needed?

Hi dear, medications are nothing to play around with. Your doctor does need to know what your dosages have been. As Entropy said be careful with mixing 2 benzos. Best bet is to check with your doctor. x

I take Lexapro and xanex as needed and also a beta blocker 1 time a day. I seem to have more anxiety before and during my period as well. This past one was worse than I have had before and I am still struggling. My Dr. upped my lexapro and also wants me to have blood work done as well to check my thyroid function, hormone balance and glucose.
