How To Withdraw Clonazepam Without Any Side Effects Prescribed For PTSD And Bi-polar?
I am a disabled vet with PTSD and Bi-polar and receive care from the VA clinic. Every time I get a new doctor they start changing my medications around. They try to increase it all the time even when I m feeling great on the current meds and doses. I take 100mg of Wellbutrin once a day, and Depakote 500mg and 0.5mg of clonezepam at night. The VA wants to cut back on the clonezapam 0.5mg qpm. They are afraid of people getting addicted. I ve been on this for many years and I can t sleep without it. It has really screwed up my mood and my mania and PTSD are getting worse. I don t know what else I can take to help me sleep. I would say I m already addicted to the clonezepam. Any suggestions?
hi Clonazepam withdrwal effects shall not occur since depakote and wellbutrin cover the effects of clonazipam and that may be the decision of your doctor to stop it as other two drugs will take care of your sleep symptoms.Do not worry and trust his decision best wishes
