MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

I take 3mg Xanax a day, but I need 4mg, 2mg AM and 2mg PM. My current pdoc will only perscribe 3mg a day, but apparently no one is getting my anxiety Any one here take 4mg a day or more, 3mg doesn't cut it. I don't need anymore a day if I take 4, but If I take 3 it doesn't work.

I understand how you feel. I was on 1mg of Klonopin 4 times a day when I left the hospital. My doctor recently changed it to 3 day. Took me a little while to ween me off, but I still wish I had it 4 a day sometimes since 3 a day doesn't work when my anxiety is way up.

Klonopin never seemed to work for me, I was still a wreck all the time, just fell asleep everywhere.

Klonopin works wonders for me. I'm currently on 3mg/day. I'm not sure what else to tell you to try? Klonopins all I know. sorry
