Because of my serious anxiety issues I finally found a Dr. who would prescribe me benzos (due to my history of heroin abuse most kick me out the door), but this guy finally prescribed me clonazepam. First he precribed it in .5mg three/day which did absolutely nothing unless I took them all at once. I convinced him into prescribing me 1mg three/day which if I take one by itself does very very little at curbing my anxiety (I also just started taking Mirtazapine 15mg/day to help with depression/anxiety as well). Also, the onset is so slow that when my anxiety is through the roof, I have to wait 1 and 1/2 - 2 hours to kind of bring me down.
He asked if I wanted Valium instead last visit but he was only willing to prescribe me 10mg 3/day and with my passed experience with valium I could not feel any anxiety relief unless I had at least 25-30mg of it so I decided the clonazepam would be the better choice. I was prescribed alprazolam in the passed and 1.5mgs worked like a fucking charm except the half life is so short and I highly doubt this guy is gonna give me a script of 1.5mg alprozalam three times a day.
I know clonozepam is a long lasting benzo and I've tried taking all three at like 9am which FINALLY gave me some relief, but by 5pm, I was back to full blown anxiety. I'm really hoping that the Mirtazipine will have a positive affect on this to the point where I can ween off the anxiety but I'm trying to find some way to deal with this legitimately in the mean time.
Any ideas of how I should approach this with my doctor?
Thanks everyone,
