So this week or more like last week, I had another change of meds at my psychiatrist (by my request). Despite being a young student, after trying many doctors/psychiatrists and 20 different medications, I have found the one who works with me.
Anyways, I have been prescribed and taking 2mg's of klonopin daily for a year now (1mg in the morning 1mg in the evening). I skip my my evening dose every now and then and sometimes start to feel sick. Anyways I never liked klonopin before being prescribed it, and found it mild in anxiety relief when compared to xanax. I always felt more social, words clearer, and less anxious with xanax (with a pleasant floaty feeling in the head). Well anyways, I told my psychiatrist about how my anxiety has been terrible every now and then, and he agreed to prescribe me xanax to be taken as needed. He prescribed 0.5 in 15 quantity, which is relatively low.
Even without a tolerance I would take 6 or 7 of the 0.5 xanax's or sometimes two of the xanax bars (4mg), I know that sounds very high but I honestly didn't have any tolerance and never blacked out on them at the dose (im 5'6 and 140). Either way I would be real mellow but yet completely wrapped in anxiety relief. But still I didn't ever take less than 2mg's without a tolerance.
So of course now that i've been dependent on klonopin, I definitely was in noway expecting to feel ANYTHING off a 0.5 xanax, but shockingly I did. A much more relief in anxiety (would be nice if it was higher lol, because I only use them once or twice a week), and i also had that relief in my head with a little calmness that I would get before just to a lesser degree. I was so happy and surprised, but most people would say for someone prescribed klonopin 2mg's daily shouldn't expect to feel NOTHING from 0.5 xanax. But I did, and am planning to take them once or twice a week at 1mg's since I have a total of 15 0.5's. So why would this be if I am soo tolerant to klonopin?
Also I from adderall to vyvanse now changed to dexedrine (15mg 4x a day!). However I only dose the dexedrine once a week as well or sometimes twice, because I get all off course. But they say vyvanse is the same thing, but I disagree the dexedrine literally (atleast not yet and wont) produces no comedown or very mild compared to adderall and vyvanse. I feel stimulated but can fall asleep easier on dexedrine, it feels "cleaner" and more pure with less depression, insomnia, anxiety, irritablity etc etc. Why would this be if vyvanse is literally supposed to be the same thing as dexedrine?
I'm so confused daily 2mg klonopin tolerance, but can feel the mild anxiety relief,etc from a tiny 0.5 xanax, and I feel a much cleaner high with less side effects with dexedrine then vyvanse even though I heard vyvanse is basically the same thing....

Though I've never seen any evidence that doctors here prescribe higher doses than they do anywhere else in the world.
