[QUOTE="tareload, post: 234200"] Ok I am not very good at asking for help but given my inexperience with this I am soliciting experiences and feedback if you don't mind. I can read most of PubMed in a day but practical veteran experience is invaluable so appreciate you all considering providing any experience. Started 0.5 to 1 mg per day of clonazepam this week. 1 mg was the bomb but 0.5 mg didn't quite cut it yesterday at the gym. How many weeks do I have until I start to lose effect and tolerance builds? I am trying to come up with medium term sustainable plan (as per [USER=44064]@FunkOdyssey[/USER] 's advice) that can kick in once I can no longer reliably leverage the short term win with clonazepam. If going the AD/SSRI route, you have to plan for the induction perod for those meds to kick in. I am not planning on escalating dosage with clonazepam. So I have mirtazipine, sertraline, and lexapro on hand. Also may use metropolol succinate low dose (12.5 mg/daily) for extra insurance. Very experienced with CBT, breathing, meditation so I better be practicing all those as well although lately the chemical intervention made a huge difference. I am back in the gym at 50% pre-issues. Thanks for any insight or feedback. [/QUOTE]
