Right now I'm on lamictal @ 25mg/day for anger/anxiety/irritability issues. Unfortunately it's not doing much. I have taken klonopins in the past as a teenager and they worked pretty good.
How do I confront my doctor with the question of prescribing me stronger medication like clonzapam (klonos).

i would strongly advise you to lose some of your faith that you have in the pharmaceutical industry, there are more ways to deal with anger/anxiety/irritability issues than with a drug. Klonopin is much more effective than the lighter crap they hand out, but for problems that are possibly able to be conquered without the chemicals (as most of them are) i would suggest eliminating the sources of stress...... get lots of exercise, eat a balanced diet (without proper nutrients our bodies will not produce the natural versions of chemicals alot of these drugs try to replace. synthetically. learn to meditate. take up a few new interests, there are a million plus topics and things to do in this world rather than voluntarily administering to yourself a chemical leash, cuz after all is said and done your gonna get yanked around by that leash somday and your not gonna like it.
*note that although i hold no degree from a university, i was a heroin addict from the age of 19 to 27, i have three years clean, and have become stable in ways i didnt think were possible "for me" and no im not pushing no twelve step garbage on ya, i am pushing straight edged clarity and clear minded self controlled enlightenment your way....... take it or leave it for someone else. but if you insist on convincing your doc, i would look up some of your diagnosed problems in the dsm4 or three (diagnostic statistic manual) this is what the doctors base their diagnostics and treatments on when it comes to psychological disorders. once you know what symptoms a person that takes Klonopins usually had in order to get such a thing then you will probably want to take try and remember what you learned in drama class

Hey there, I have the same problem, I have sleep issues, I have asked for something to help but the doctor refused! And last week she only perscribed me one week of Klonopin, and it was the lowest amount, It helped but I was scared to ask for more, I dont want her to think I am a addict or something. I am also in the Lamictal, I am up to 3 of the 25mg a day, I dont really notice a difference yet, it has been a month since I started it. I want to wacth your question to see how to ask for different stuff too, good luck!!
