[QUOTE="Star*, post: 407045, member: 4964"] I like klonopin - but I did not like the being high feeling - and I mean - wandering across the car lot like a stoner....(according to husband it was really something to behold) but then again when the doctor said "I don't recommend taking a full pill right away." and you think (pshaw what does SHE know about MY stress???) and you go ahead and eat a whole one in the car on the way home from the WalMart pharmacy and then say to your husband "OHHHHHHHH lets stop and look at cars in this lot!!!" and then he pulls over and you are literally falling against cars and laughing and pasting your face against windows and smearing you cheeks down the side of the car? Yeah - NOT so pretty - THEN? Then you take the recommended 'just a tiny bite' dosage. I did not take the Atavan because someone here told me it had addictive properties...and I already had enough medications on my plate. However I DID find that a couple Benadryl OTC (yup plain old allergy medicine) was recommended by a doctor in the Box physician for night twitches, and RLS, and hyperventalation, and anxiety attacks and worked really well for me. Until I found out I had an allergy to it. Oh the rash....The hives, the vomiting....the shock - not fun. LOL. I got the klonopin and STILL have almost all of it left. I really rationed it, so I wouldn't get addicted - and did breathing exercises and liked that much better - I like being in control of me as much as possible. And when outside sources stress me out - either they are going or I am - and if I can't? Then they better get their boots on. I'm not taking more dope for anyone anymore. However when it's things you can't control? You need to realize - I CAN NOT CONTROL this - and understand that as much as you can. Then get as much of a grip on that situation as you can and deal with the situations you can, change the things you can - and accept the ones you can't change without it stressing you out so badly that you are unable to cope without medicating. Sounds easier than it is believe me I know. This is why my doctor would only prescribe any anti-anxiety medications in VERY short doeses - like maybe 7-14 pills at the most. Hang in there Steely. ----Sees Janet is getting Saphires.......MUST BE NICE ..........I want EMERALDS. [/QUOTE]
