Question for anyone, once I'm off cit but I still take klonipin/clonazepam can I still take the 5 -htp?

nh_user_721542 · 18 July 2015 14:28

Starting my 4 th week weaning soon, having a little anxiety this morning, I'd that still all normal shazzer? I hated don't like it maybe take a little clonazepam, I don't know but I don't want to go backwards to the cit either. Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 18 July 2015 14:29

Sorry the auto correct thing. Also maybe the weather being so hot and didn't sleep well last night either.

nh_user_688299 · 18 July 2015 14:56

Yes Cindy you can still take your clonazepam with 5 Htp. No drug interaction there. Good luck, I am sure you will be just fine. Lee.

nh_user_721542 · 18 July 2015 15:12

So Lee you think it's normal for me to feel some anxiety and tiredness going off the cit, third week I'm in going off it, 5 mg now for another two weeks 5 mg one day, one day not and so on, slowly weaning. Thank you so much for answering fast too. Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 18 July 2015 15:34

Also, taking my clonazepam during the daytime while weaning help me with the anxiety from coming off the cit do you think? Cindy sorry for all the questions but when you feel anxious this place seems to help calm me some, thank you cindy

Hi Cindy,

Yes it is normal.Don't panic.Ride the storm.

It will soon get less frequent. You are doing great.I felt like you and I stuck with it.On Monday I am 5 weeks tablet free.

I am feeling the best I've ever been.

You can do this. smile

Post anytime for reassurance,

I guess taking my clonazepam during the day to help with the anxiety withdrawal would help me too, right? Thank you, shazzer

nh_user_721542 · 18 July 2015 19:00

Congratulations on being pill free 5 weeks Monday. It has to be out of your system by now too? Did you start the 5 -htp yet? Thanks you for answering, it sure helps, your friend Cindy

nh_user_741442 · 19 July 2015 07:23

Hi. Cindy,

Thanks. smile

Yeah it is out of my system.

I started 5htp 1 week ago.

I feel that I'm gonna be ok and be happy.

I'm also reading a book called Be your Self(How to relax and take control of your life)

it's helping me be more positive and confident.

Take care and keep at it

love,

Shazzer.x

nh_user_721542 · 19 July 2015 13:25

I'll have to locate that book and read it too. Thank you, Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 19 July 2015 17:25

Another anxiety and tired day, guess still all normal, just have to keep in mind that I really want to wean off and keep going, kind of scary though. Cindy

nh_user_741442 · 29 July 2015 10:24

Hi. Cindy.I've been thinking about you.How are you doing?

Love ,

Shazzer.X

nh_user_721542 · 29 July 2015 22:10

Hi shazzer. Well I'm down to 2.5 mg every two days, so just 2 more pills and I hope I'll be okay and done. I have little anxiety yet, not as fatigued, but a new thing came up that made me anxious. Floater in my eye and some flashing, I made an appointment with the eye doctor, turns out it's okay, just an aging thing, goes sweet! So kind of you to ask shazzer, thank you for thinking of me. How are you doing? Friend, Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 29 July 2015 22:13

Also my IBS-D makes me anxious, wish that would leave, don't know what to do to get rid of that either! If it isn't one thing it's another!!!!!!!! Friend, Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 29 July 2015 22:15

I also bought myself the 5 -jto to start up in about a month of being off the cit, sure hope it works for me! Friend, Cindy

nh_user_721542 · 30 July 2015 01:26

oh my goodness, these stupid auto correct smart phones make me made too! I meant 5-htp pills to start up in about a month after I'm totally off the cit! your friend, cindy

nh_user_721542 · 2 August 2015 14:27

Hey Shazzer. I am now pill free since last Wednesday, I may still feel a little of the pill in my system but hey they say it can take a few hours to leave, like 36 hours 50% is out so I figure by today it should be pretty much out, well most pretty much all of it! So now to just keep my chin high and know I got off the pill without too many withdrawel side effects a few but not bad seeing slowly went off, maybe should have been slower but hey, I'm off!!!! Hope you are still doing well off of cit too, let me know how you are Shazzer, interested in how you're doing! Thank you again for asking before how I was coming along. Your friend, Cindy

nh_user_741442 · 2 August 2015 15:29

Hi Cindy,

Thats great news.!!!!:-)

It should be out of your system now.

So have you been ok on the withdrawal symptoms?

I think you've done well the way you have come off them.

I'm doing great thanks Cindy,7 weeks tomorrow I've been tablet free.All withdrawal symptons gone.

I'm going to get back into the gym and lose the stone and half I have gained.

I am also reading a book called How to relax and take control of your life.It is really helping me.

life is good.

Keep your chin up and head held high.You're doing a great job and be proud that you've got this far.

I'm proud of myself everyday and so should you.:-D

Take care and keep in touch,

Love, Shazzer.X

nh_user_721542 · 3 August 2015 15:42

Yes thank you too shazzer, I am doing okay, IBS-D but maybe that too will settle down being off the cit, I hope. I will look into that book myself. Start the 5 -htp in another 4 weeks, do you take that now did you say? You stay happy and anxiety free shazzer, as I hope to also! Thank you again, Cindy
