> > Hi Elizabeth,
Yes I started both meds at the same time. Obviously I have worked up to 150 mg. of Effexor over a period of time, have been on this dose for maybe 6 or 7 weeks. I take the Klonopin at night.
The only reason I was prescribed Klonopin was because I started getting panic attacks and phobic about sleeping at night when I started taking Effexor. It was probably a response to the initial activating effects of the Effexor.Is there any problem with speeding up the tapering dose? Like can it cause convulsions (as happens to those who d/c longterm, high dose Xanax?)? I have been taking 0.5 mg. for about 5 days now and haven't had any problems. I just don't want to be on it anymore. It makes me nervous as I fall asleep. I understand that nervousness in some people is a potential with Klonopin. Thanks for your help, AnneL
