[Guest guest]

Kathy,

Krysti has been put on .5 Klonopin for about 3 weeks now. Her zoloft is upped

to 150

mg. She has totally taken a turn down since. Her depression has become great.

She

doesn't leave her room and has so many new compulsions. Her and I walk every

evening and

she talks but not in a very happy way. I called the Dr. today and she told us

to get her

off the Klonopin right away. Krysti is so upset because she has a routine w/

her meds

and now says she won't sleep tonight. She started crying which is about every

other hour

now. I do believe it is the Klonopin. Has anyone else experienced this? We

also have

had a person staying w/ us (friend-nice) for 3 weeks until they can get a

vehicle. I

know this has upset her routine. The thing is he is never here until late

because he

farms after work. She really likes him and they do a lot together w/ her

sister. We

have said he must go by this weekend. It is so hard because he has been a lot

of fun,

but because of her ocd it can not go on. I don't feel we are helping her boss

back.

There is no waxing/waning it is just at the bottom. I am holding it together,

but it is

so sad to see. Any suggestions on a relaxant med such as Klonopin? I am lost

as how to

help her. I am working on not enabling her, but nothing seems to cheer her up.

Not

depressed as in (die) but so down (tears) constant.

Thanks for listening.
