Hey guys! I take Klonopin as needed, but usually .5 mg a day. I've been having severe stomach issues and decided today to start taking probiotics.
Has anyone had any experience with these interactions?
I also take 20 mg of Lexapro daily.
All input is appreciated! :)

I take Klonopin daily, and I had not notice any additional problem beside better appetite. I am trying to drink at least 4 times a week home made kefir, smoothies and all this stuff. It has 50 living strain of good bacteria when probiotic yogurt only 15 :))

Thanks for sharing your experience. :) I'm feeling really nauseated, but I've read that probiotics may make you feel that way in the beginning. We shall see.

The only side effects I've had with Klonopin (in regards to the digestive system) is I get really thirsty, and if I don't drink fluids fast enough I get pretty bad headaches. As far as stomach issues are concerned, I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Of course if your doctors OK this, take the probiotics. Ironically, I find that Klonopin helps a lot with nausea for me. Although, that could be linked with anxiety in ways I'm not realizing.

With using benzos comes the thirst , that's normal. I do not think anyone needs the doc to say yes to probiotic......bluefrog do you ask the doc when you buy and eat yogurt?
