Question: What's a good anti-depressant to take with Klonopin!?
The stuff really calmed me down!. Made me really drowsy, but it works!. I'm still left with depressive thoughts and don't really feel motivated to do much!. Is there something I can take with this that has few bad sides effects (sexual dysfunction, weight gain, etc!.) that will pick me up!? I'm going to the doctor today!. I'm also in therapy for social anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your doctor is the best person to answer this question!. Tell your doctor your symptoms and what you want/expect the medication to do!. If you feel it is not working, or not doing what you expect it to, talk to him/her!. Medications vary person to person!. Some work perfectly the first try!.!.!. others may take years and many medications to figure out what works perfectly for you!. Best of luck! And stick to the therapy, it works wonders when combined with medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
To be honest with you, my doc ripped me off antidepressants once I started klonopin, The problem is my anxiety is too high and the antidepressants didn't help while on the klonopin, typically they'll try this alone or with ativan and therapy to control the bigger issue!. There is no antidepressant that make you "Happy" or less tired while you're on Klonopin, And I don't know the time of day you take your Klonopin (A long lasting Ativan), but I have to take mine right before bed and another 1/2 in the morning if my anxiety is still too high, while I try to avoid this because it does make me sleepy, all in all it has helped better than any antidepressant I was on, the sleepinesss is usual, you're just going to have to get use to it, you'll feel better in a few months, not so tired!. They'll probably avoid giving you a pick me up until they see that the meds are working, and after several months they work great, just give it a little longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Wellbutrin is really a good drug with few side effects, most drugs like zoloft and cymbalta are SSRI's and have much of the side effects you mentioned, your best bet would be to consult your doctor or pharmacist in this matter!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
