Yes...more questions!  Ironically I wound up taking a Clonopin this morning b/c I was having a panic attack about an activity I had to attend with my toddler. (It was such a trivial activity...of course I feel so ridiculous), buy anyhow, I was doing pretty well, feeling confident, and even offering newbies suggestions on this board! But my mind really has so much control over me and I have had this set back. I took 2 preventative immodium last night but I got so worked up this morning that I wound up having a bm anyway. That's it...just one..so I shouldn't have been worried, right? But my mind started running away with me thinking, "how did that bm sneak through after the immodium (plus the acacia and safe breakfast)? I had stomach pain which I know I was causing myself. Anyhow, in despair, I took the Clonopin and made it through the event. You explained the two perfectly: clonopin for situations, lexapro for overall, but would Lexapro really have helped me to ward off this panic attack this morning had I been on it for awhile? Maybe I would need a higher dose? How much do you take? I imagine that if I had Clonopin readily available, I would probably use it twice/week, depending on what's going on in my life that week. I guess I have to weigh the side effects, long term effects of both (in other words, better to be at a higher dose of lexapro long term or better to take clonopin as needed 2-3 times/week?)  Oh...I need to go back to my doctor! I'm doing the hypno and I'm so disappointed that the stress freaked me out so much today. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
