who cares if your a light-weight or not. that would be good right? dont need as much med to help you.
as for the irritability id first try to stop the klonopin and try something else...for me and several others now that i;ve talked to klonopin actually causes severe agitation and aggravation. i especially felt it next morning, i took 2mg at bed. its not that common but might give that a try. check with doc if you can replace klonopin with something else.
and geodon at normal doses did nothing for me once it was upped i became psychotic. So we never know how each person may react to meds.
you maybe have reacted similarly mine just presented differently.
i had same issue with abilify as well. (i had the severe anger with klonopin and abilify not sure which was worse or if the two were working together to make things worse but...zyprexa has always worked well for me. but normally i need to go to 10mg and thats when i gain weight. if i could stay at 5 i never gain weight and even can loose some if want.
and fyi i am now on a very very low dose of perphenazine. and working great good anxiety. i like being a light-weight there. the higher the dose the more chance of side-effects.
Best Wishes!
