2mg Klonopin switch to 2mg Xanax. Totally terrified?

I was prescribed 2mg of Klonopin once daily for the past two years. As of two weeks ago, my PC doctor cut me off (no, I am not joking or withholding info here) with no reason, no alternative, and no referral to another doctor/psychiatrist. Therefore, I have done what I needed to do and have found a... read more

Rapid weight gain while tapering off of Cymbalta (duloxetine). Has anyone else experienced this?

I have been on duloxetine for about a year for depression and anxiety. While it has been somewhat effective in treating those, it wasn't effective enough to justify sticking with it given the side effects I was experiencing--mainly fatigue and headaches. My psychiatrist developed a plan for me to... read more

It got better for a bit, but now I think I'm having withdraws. I'm having tremors, nausea, diarrhea, head... read more
