So, I have been taking oxycodone faithfully for over 5 years. I've never "missed" a monthly appt. I take the med for low back pain. My current dosage is 10mg/4 times per day (I get 120 a month). Anyways, I'm a 40-year-old female, and struggled with "anxiety" my entire life. I thought it was about time to get help (I also work in the mental health field). Long story short, my primary doctor placed me on klonopin 1mg to be taken 3 times a day. What I've noticed (and here's my question), I truly believe that the klonopin is helping me taper down from the oxy (something I've been trying to do for years). Anybody else have similar experiences? An anti-anxiety helping them lower their need for pain meds? Thxs in advance!!
