Hello all,
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I have been taking .5mg of Klonopin for the last 6 weeks (most of the time only half a pill .25mg) and always before bedtime. I realize is time for me to taper off from Klonopin so I talked to my pdoc and he suggested 50mg of Trazodone.

1- I realize Trazodone is not SSRI and belongs to SARI group but in regards to composition & function is it in anyway similar to SSRI (i.e. Paxil)? I took Paxil and it made my anxiety 100% worse than originally was and gave me long duration panic attack so I had to stop. How would I feel the next morning if I take 25-50mg of Trazodone?

2- In regards to composition & function is Trazodone similar to Phenobarbital ? I can’t take Phenobarbital. It makes me really sick.

3- Could Trazodone help me in tapering off Klonopin when I get down to small dose of .125mg of Klonopin (1/4 of pill)?
