I take 1 mg klonopin and 50 mg vyvanse at 8 am, and another 1 mg klonopin and 50 mg vyvanse at 2 pm. This is the BEST med combo I've ever been on. And they are helping. Yeh, the 1st 2 weeks klonopin worked better than it did now, but its now at a plateau. It helps... ALOT. I have an OCD type social anxiety, so while i used to talk to people, Id have all these phrases going through my mind about how to listen, or how to be liked; therefore, could not concentrate on what the person was saying at all. The klonopin virtually stopped those phrases. Does klonopin make me more confident? No. But its helping me to build confidence. Also, the vyvanse and klonopin together cancel out most of eachothers side effects. The only side effects I have from the klonopin is that it takes me literally 3 hours to orgasm; which maybe isnt a bad thing
. But the vyvanse does give me dry mouth and loss of appetite. But these side effects are so incredibly minor to most meds I've taken. I do HATE SSRI's though. They make me feel like a zombie, and drain all creativity out of me.
BTW: I'm in a HORRIBLE situation, and I still feel pretty good on this med combo. I just got out of jail, Im on house arrest for 3 more months......
and oh yeh, almost forgot..
ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS OF MY PROBATION IS THAT I HAVE TO SPEAK AT SCHOOLS FOR AN HOUR (EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS) ABOUT HOW DRINKING AND DRIVING HAS AFFECTED MY LIFE.
My 1st speech is in tomorrow; and hell yeh Im pretty nervous, but without my meds, Id be crying right now.
So.... In conclusion... yes, sometimes meds can be a vicious cycle; trust me, I've been on em' all, and I felt the EXACT same way. But, once you find the right med combo, and get a good psychologist to talk to, your good.
PEACE!
