Question: Hello, I was taking 15 mg of abilify in the morning and 1 mg of klonopin three times a day. My doctor reduced that to 10 mg of abilify and 1 mg of klonopin twice a day. Is this the proper way to reduce klonopin because I thought you were supposed to go from 3 mg to 1.5 mg? Will I have any withdrawal effects by this reduction in klonopin? He also prescribed me lexapro for depression, and I read in an article that abilify and celexa, which is very similar to lexapro can cause death with klonopin being one of the top co-drugs. Here is the article where it says that: http://www.ehealthme.com/sdi/celexa/abilify/death/
If you scroll down to the bottom, it says that 3 out of the 16 people who had death with celexa and abilify were taking klonopin. So given that celexa is very similar to lexapro, this is the exact combination that I would be taking: lexapro, abilify, and klonopin. Do you think this combination will cause death? Also, I had some shakiness on Thursday night, and it says in an article that abilify and klonopin can cause convulsions when taken 6-12 months and I have taken klonopin for 5 months and abilify for 3 months. This is why my doctor reduced the abilify and klonopin. Here is the article where it says abilify and klonopin can cause convulsions: http://www.ehealthme.com/drug-interaction/klonopin/abilify/
If you scroll down to where it says 6-12 months, it has convulsions listed. Do you think the shakiness was because I may have a convulsion, or do you think I will have a convulsion with abilify and klonopin if I keep taking it? Please respond as soon as possible.
