Clonazepam and medication

I was prescribed Clonazepam for anxiety about 3 months ago coupled with a generic version of zooloft. I am definately starting to feel insane. My head aches at random times. I do still drink and smoke leafy substances, which i know is not recomended, but I am still in college and I feel sometimes like its the only way to meet ppl, drinking/partying, especially in places where there isn't much else. I want to get off the drug, but I am so afraid of the side effects. I don't really feel better on it. because I like having energy, I am a spunky girl and it takes away my spunk. I just wanna know how to function in society. I get nervous around new ppl, especially bosses/or anyone in my field, if I don't take the drug, but I can't even really tell if it is helping. At first it was fine, but now my head hurts all over/ headache. I forget things, which may be the sertraline, but regardless I want to get off of it. I feel more insane now than I did before.

I had been on 2 mg. per day for 5 years and really wanted to get off of the clonazepam. It really helped my anxiety, but I don't like taking anything for long periods of time. My psychiatrist is helping me reduce the amount very, very slowly. Actually, 1/4 mg, at a time and over the last seven months I am down to 1/4 mg, am and 1/2 pm. She says it is best to really go slowly as it is a hard medication to get off of. I have had no bad side affects getting dosage reduced. I do feel better and because it is a nerve tranquilizer I am getting much more feeling and sensitivity throughout my system. It was affecting my sexual satisfaction and now I am enjoying sex more and have a lot more sensitivity and orgasm is easier.

after only a couple of days of using just half a tablet, diarhia started. not claiming that it by itself caused that situation, but combined with other prescriptions i am taken, that i was not having that problem prior to.

this medication should have more experimentation performed prior to being place on the market.
