clinic Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) My anxiety/crying was fine on clobazam 20mg. But i started sleeping all day after some time of taking it. So we reduced clobazam from 20 to 15mg. And the sleepiness has gone away but I'm feeling like anxious/crying now. Pdoc declined to stop clobazam. I was thinking maybe we can add low dose of clonazepam(klonopin) to my current benzo ? Edited June 2, 2019 by clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinic Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 What if u wanted to increase the dose of your benzo but cant due to side effects ? Would adding 2nd low dose benzo makes sense ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 IF benzos are making you sleepy, they all will to some degree. Sedation is a common characteristic of all benzos. They also potentiate each other making common characteristics many times more stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikl_pls Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 You could lower clobazam and add a low dose of lorazepam that you take regularly, like 0.5-1 mg 2-3x/day. Maybe. Idk, though, I'm not an expert. I say lorazepam because it has the lowest incidence of drug-drug interations. The other thing to do I say would be to switch to something like clorazepate. I took 45 mg/day clorazepate without any sedation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
