Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

What you are describing is consistent with anxiety. Klonopin is good for the short-term treatment of anxiety. The long term-treatment of anxiety is with an antidepressant like Elavil. If you are still experiencing anxiety, I would talk to your prescribing doctor about increasing the Elavil dose. Klonopin is not known to cause gum inflammation or skin blotches, so I would talk to your primary cause doctor about investigating another cause for these.

I'm interested in therapy but I would like to know what your fee schedule is.
I cannot find good therapy here.
I had a panic attack a few months ago but I haven't had another one since. Which I am grateful for. The paramedics diagnosed it. I was having a leisurely meal at a restaurant when that occurred. I stabilized quickly.
I've been living like this for too long and I can't do it anymore. I'm not functional like I used to be.
I appreciate the offer for your services.
I will contact you on your personal website.
My e-mail is XXXXXXXXXX @yahoo.com

I look forward to you contacting me. I'm confident I can help you.
