I have had my terrace not drain before and immediately recognized that it needed to be snaked. I have had a few floods in my apartment. I lived here for about fifty years. That is why I found it so frightening that this was the first time it didn't register that it was clogged rather than just a puddle and didn't take action but had the building notify me

the above is a disturbing article about xanax and explains my short term memory problems. I don't know if I want to stay on it

I take the risk as my sleep is the most important thing I can do to help stabilize my bipolar.

Do talk to the pdoc first if you want to go off it or switch to something else.

I am going to call the doctor this morning and tell his receptionist about my memory problems and that i want to go back to klonopin even though it doesn't do much. Yesterday I didn't even recognize the word horsepower and couldn't remember part of the alphabet or somebody's husband's first name. I am fighting with stella over multitasking. ugh. Now I am worried that Marci is going to quit because of my behavior. I am lazier now because of the new drug.

Try just seeing if taking it at night for sleep will help. And its so new.

Maybe its an combo of things. See if there is something else besides
Klondine you can try.

You may still be adjusting to the Xanax, need a different dosage, or have to take it a different way... IDK.
But Klonopin is also a benzo.

I can't tell you what's best for you, but I know that you need something to help you control your anxiety.

There are a lot of reasons for memory loss, and unfortunately, sometimes we have to weigh the risks vs. benefits of medications.

I'm sorry that you are finding yourself in this situation right now, Bobby. I was so hopeful that the Xanax was going to help you

The years that I took the Xanax, I only took it at night with the Klonopin.


Getting off the Xanax was hard and I needed my pdoc's help.
He did some math and gave me more Klonopin because in his mind they worked in similar ways.
Even with the extra Klonopin, I felt like
I was going through a detox. It took a few weeks. I am so grateful to that pdoc.


I know someone who stopped Xanax abruptly and things did not go well.
I really hope that you talk to the pdoc.

the dosage lowered the daytime dosage to 1 mg and he is on vacation next week. That article I out the link to really scared me besides all the memory problems. I had actually lowered the daytime dosage myself but didn't tell him. Yesterday wasn't bad.

I think I just switched right over from Xanax to Klonopin, and I don't remember having any problems, but I was kinda in and out of it at the time, so who knows.

I'm glad that things went well yesterday, Bobby
