Numb frontal lobe. Okay, well, that's what it feels like. It's not my skull that feels numb, but my brain!! Granted it's most assuredly just a sensation as the brain reportedly does not feel anything. I made my last Klonopin cut four days ago and it's the first time the Klonopin has struck me with...

Moving towards wellness
Well, I've talked about how the Klonopin (clonazepam) seems to be making me sick at this point and that theory seems to be holding up. It was also that theory that had my last doctor have me recklessly cold-turkey a couple of months ago. The thing is she wasn't all wrong. I am toxic on... Continue Reading →
Down to one med: journey off psych drug cocktail
So I tried to go off Lamictal at 2.5 mg a couple of weeks ago and had some sleepless nights like I wrote about. So I went back on half of it I've cut the 1.25 mg in half 3 times now and am truly off all of it now. (just to remind you---I was on 400 mg) So I have only 2.5 my of Klonopin to go.

Virtually all physical debilitating symptoms can be traced back to when I first started tapering 400 mgs of Lamictal.

And yet these are some of the most despairing times I've had as well. I've gotten off 5 drugs. I'm down to 5 mg of Lamictal (from 400mg) and I've got the 3 mg of Klonopin to go. I should be off the Lamictal in a few days. Every night when I take the Klonopin... Continue Reading →
Klonopin withdrawal (FYI)
I'm about to begin my Klonopin taper---or more precisely my clonazepam taper since I'm on a generic. Amazing, huh? Once I start this taper it's really the beginning of the end of my withdrawal. I've tapered off 5 meds have Lamictal to finish off and Klonopin is the only one I've not even begun yet,... Continue Reading →
