I currently take 300 mgs of Wellbutrin and .5 of Klonopin. Effexor caused an increased urge to drink and smoke cigs. So, I am tapering off. The same thing happened with Paxil. Other meds that didn't work out: Zoloft, Pamelor, I can't recall th rest. The SSRI's are for anxiety.
My pdoc was tring to find an alternative for the Klonopin, which has worked fine with a higher dose in the past with a previous doc. It worked
so well that I thought I'd be ok without it. I was wrong and the old doc retired, so I got a new one.New new doc hates to prescribe Klonopin, so he wants to try every drug out on me like I am some kind of science experiment. Side effects from SSRI's affect my quality of life and I hate it! How can I convince this man that I want what worked in the past if he is so against the Klonopin?
