Suggest Ways To Take Clonazepam Without Weaning Off From Hydroxyzine
I have been on clonazepam for many years. I was taking .5mg 3 times a day for several years. Recently with more stress in my life, I needed more. The Doc( not my doc) bumped it up to 1 mg twice a day. My doctor didn t want me on that much clonazepam, so she switched me to ativan, .5 mg 3 times a day. I was literally shaking and did not want to eat and got the diarrhea. After 3 days, the doc switched me to Hydroxyzine, 50mg 4 times daily. I have been on Hydroxyzine for 14 days. I have had the diarrhea for over two weeks, I do not feel like eating, I lost 14 lbs. My question to you is can I switch back to Clonazepam without weening off of Hydroxyzine?
