Social Anxiety Support

lilpara · 02-01-2012, 11:19 PM

i need advice. I have not had a huge problem with anxiety for a long time. however, sometimes during the day i get extremely tired, with 6 kids i have to be able to keep up with them, therefore, i have taken 1 (.25mg) ephedrine pill and drank 2 Monster drinks. Well, of course, now I have anxiety. Is it safe to take a .5 mg of Klonopin?

sorry, let me elaborate. I took the pill at 5:30pm, drank the 2 drinks between 6:00pm and 7:30pm, now its 2:30 in the morning.

First I'd like to welcome you to the site

(2nd you posted in the wrong section, that is ok) - this is the 'board feedback section where you leave feedback how the board is running. No worries I'm sure a mod will move the thread to the right one.

Taking Klonopin with an energy drink won't effect the medication but you may find it causes a rapid heart rate and high blood pressure.

If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, you should avoid stimulants --including caffeine -- due to the risk of stimulants intensifying your feelings of anxiety.

I would try natural foods that give you energy or even supplemental stuff - Acetyl L-Carnitine I think it is , is known for boosting .

Good luck and take care

I'd take it. I'm up to 2 milligrams of Klonopin, and it looks like that might have to go up...

I take .5 of klonopin twice a day, and I absolutely always take it with redbull or coffee. It doesn't seem to cancel out the calming effect, but Klonopin makes me a tad bit drowsy so the energy drink alleviates this problem.

Lot's of people say xanax and adderall are the perfect combination for SA so benzos and stims are known to mix well. I'm sure you'll be fine.

for me benzos (xanax especially) and coffee somehow make me irritable and anxious, without benzo i can take 5 coffees and feel good
