I've been on C/L for about 6 months and it has done wonders for me physically. However, I battle depression and anxiety every day like many PD people do. I have plenty of anti-depressants on board, which don't seem to be doing much (I have had depression all my adult life, successfully managed with medication). I have come to wonder if I need a lower dose of C/L since, apparently, this medication can improve depression/anxiety OR make it worse.
When I initially tried C/L at standard 25/100 3x/day, I had panic attacks, which is why Im wondering about this dosage, since I seem to be sensitive to C/L. I finally found a doctor who started me at a very low dose and we slowly increased it to 1.5 C/L 3x/day. I don't really have on/off periods. My doctor thinks my mood will be worse if I lower the dose, but I'm assuming he will support me so I can titrate down and see if it changes anything. I'm not brave enough to reduce dose without supervision.
Has anyone become more depressed anxious from C/L and felt better after dose reduction?
Thank you
