Well, this is how NOT to sedating meds (like benzos and Ambien) I am: I started with 10mg of Ambien (it also comes in 5mg which works for many people) and there were times I went up to 15 mg. Then when the anxiety, agitation, obsessive racing thoughts, etc. got more intense, even 15 mg Ambien did not work. I didn't dare take more because the manufacturer info says not to exceed 10 and I'd already done that!
To answer your question about what other meds are you currently on (it's fine, no problem that you asked!) along with Klonopin (which you already know about!) I'm on EffexorXR (only 75 mg/day cuz it's too activating; plan to taper off it after next visit to pdoc when I can get onto another, SEDATING a-d!), and Zyprexa 2.5mg/night for sleep (also hope to discontinue that if I can find a sedating a-d for nighttime).
What meds are you on? Sorry if you posted this somewhere and I forgot - well, it will be easier to read under this thread anyway.
Also, if you don't mind, what kind of work do you do? Just curious.
I'm feeling improved each day, but still far from who I know I can be.
Blessings back to you,
