Brief Answer: Go for better drugs for your illness. Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome to HCM! I have read your question and your concerns are regarding generalised anxiety, panic attacks, narcolepsy. You also have ADHD. You have been on clonopin; but now it doesn't seem to be giving you the desired results. Well, even though you want to continue with clonopin, I have different opinion, I think there are many better alternatives : like venalafaxine, paroxetine ...which can just control GA and also put a full stop on panic attacks. These drugs are SNRIs and your doctor would know about them, some like Venlafaxine are also used in narcolepsy managment. They are better compared to clonopin - 1. non addicting, 2. do not loose efficacy over time 3. and treat the illness , not just symptomatic managers like clonopin. I would start you on one of these drugs rather than adding another antianxiety drug with clonopin. If needed zolpidem may be used for sleeping issues, as they are non addicting and maintain effect even for long time use. I have seen excellent response with them in my patients. I would suggest that you should meet your doctor and talk about changing your drugs. Also, I do not know if you have got thyroid levels or not, but it is a common disorder seen along with psychiatric problems...when managed , there are very good results. Hope the reply is useful.
