Hello,
A few years back, I saw a psychiatrist a few times and was diagnosed with SAD and was making a little progress. Unfortunately I ran into insurance problems and would have had to pay $125/visit, twice a month and simply couldn't afford that. Recently I brought up to my general practitioner my anxiety issues and he just promptly wrote me a script for .5mg clonazepam 2 times a day and sent me on my way without explaining a thing.
I've been taking this medicine now for a week or so, and feel absolutely no effects at all. I hear it's supposed to make you a bit drowsy, and help your anxiety somewhat quickly (2 hours after first dose or so.) Is this true or should it take longer? I called my doctor but it appears he's on vacation, yet again, and will be gone for 2 weeks more and is pushing people off on another doctor in his practice who won't change this medication for me and says to wait for him to return.
Long story short, is there any danger in upping it to 2-.5mg pills, 2 times a day? Does anyone here have any other advice?
