I am on anti-depressants now. And I am taking klonopin until they kick in. The one thing that I am worry about is atrophy in my thumb pad (thenar muscle). I had my GP look at it and he said it is not atrophy. But I am still doubting him. If it was true atrophy, my thumb would be pretty weak wouldn't it? Especially after a month and a half?????? Also, my arm would be pretty weak too, correct?

Sorry, I am just really scared! Looking for some reassurance.

Neuro appointment next Friday.
