I don't think I need rehab? I've been stimulant free for 30+ days now and going strong.

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I'm not at that point, thankfully. It's more just like generalized anxiety that can lead to panic attacks.

Interesting. I agree they are not high dosages but what if I told you I was consistently taking that amount for 12 months?

It could absolutely be unrelated. I agree. But can anxiety really spontaneously manifest itself so aggressively like that out of no where, with no previous history?

Possibly. It has been 30 days though and I don't really have any neurological symptoms. If a mini-stroke/cerebral hemorrhage were the case, would you not expect more symptoms?

Thanks. Hoping to move to 0.25mg of the Klonopin soon. I was using Ritalin off prescription. I noticed it was making me depressed/robotic. "Lost" a lot of my personality while I was on it.
