if you take klonopin or zoloft

[Anonymous]

How much klonipin Do you take at once and how often? If you take zoloft when did it begin to work &at how many Mgs? And any advice. I'm on Klonpin 2mg as needed and it has stopes working. Also I have been takeing zoloft 21/2 months I take 50mg and it worked only for the first week.

I take Zoloft as a mood stabilizer as I have been diagnosed with bipolar. I've been on it since I was 15, now I'm 23. I believe I started out at 50mg and now I'm up to 100mg in the AM and 100 mg in the evening. You may need to speak with your Dr
if you don't think they're working so they can make adjustments as needed . :)
ETA I felt the difference first week or so as you did but than it felt like it wasn't working so I spoke to my Dr and he had to increase it. I've had to increase several times to find the correct dosage that helps me .

I was on both for years, sometimes at the same time.  I started Zoloft at like 50 mg I believe.  I was up to 200 (max dose) probably 2 or 3 years after that.  It began to help within a week or so but I needed a higher dose pretty quickly (after a few months).

The Klonopin though.. I suggest you try to avoid that completely.  It took me a while to wean myself off of that.  I developed a horrible addiction to it (I do not have an addictive personality and meds tend to flush out of my system pretty quickly and/or I develop a tolerance within a few days so this is not to be taken lightly).  I was on from 0.5 mg a day up to 10 mg a day  (the higher dose for my insomnia). 

Klonopin is a long-acting med.. if you aren't horribly bad with the anxiety (or whatever you are treating), try a short-acting alternative.  I use Ativan now as needed for what we now know is PMDD.  :)  Much better.  No addiction even if I use it every day.  Same class of drugs as Klonopin.  Calms me down within half an hour.

I take about 6-8mg of Klonopin daily

Klonopin was great for my anxiety. Very easy to stop taking due to pregnancy. But zoloft sucked. Celexia 10 mg was perfect. Effective yet no "haze".

 I have klonopin but I don't remember how strong it is, I stopped taking it. It didn't work for me. Zoloft shouldn't have even started working till about the second week that you took it. I would go back to the doctor and have them find something that will help. Why are you on these if I may ask?

That's a really high dose of Zoloft. I took one 10 mg pill a day when I was on it. I stopped taking it though because I was blowing up like a damn balloon. I do miss it though :(
