A month ago I started dealing with a health problem that has largely passed. But during the month, I was taking Xanax off and on for anxiety, not more than 1 mg/day. Strangely, as my health situation improved, I became more and more anxiety-ridden, but tried to stay off the Xanax. Last week a doctor prescribed me Zoloft, but I'm reluctant to take it, and instead got a prescribed Klonopin, 1 mg/day. This was 5 days ago. I did not want to take the whole dosage, I know the stuff is dangerous. I've been taking .5/day, and trying to get off it. Day before yesterday I thought I was losing my mind. The stuff doesn't seem to help when I take it, maybe make things worse. So I cut it down to .25/day, taken in the morning. Yesterday wasn't too bad, I get better in the evening. Very little sleep last night, took .25 early morning, I'm a basket case today.
Should I be taking the full dosage for a while, before trying to taper off? My voice is hoarse, weird. Any suggestions on amount to take, for how long, and how long this process can/will take? I'm almost ready to check into a psych ward, but worried they'll put me on more of these drugs, and I'll never get out of the vicious cycle.
Any help??? Thank you.
