Help!!
 

I need to know if any of you are taking Klonopin/clonazepam while doing herceptin? I need it for my anxiety/panic attacks and am scared to take the first pill! Please let me know if anyone is using this?
Thank you
Susan

Susan,

I'm taking Ativan (1mg) for anxiety which really helps -- it takes the edge off. If your doctor prescribed the medication I'm sure it is perfectly safe to take. There is no reason why you should suffer.

Susan,

I also worry, worry, worry about all the other stuff this requires me to put into my body just to deal with it! I also take Ativan, which seems to work.

I agree--your doctor wouldn't have prescribed it to you, if it wasn't safe to take with whatever else you are taking. If it makes you feel better, give them a call in the morning just to reassure yourself.

Take care,
Krista

I took Ativan 1mg as needed and it did help.

I'm taking Ativan, and gabapentin (neutrontin) at night so I can sleep, and Prozac during the day. I'm doing a year of Herceptin.
So far they've helped more than hurt.
