I posted before about being given Clonazepam 0.5 mg by my doctor to use in conjunction with my Venlafaxine for anxiety attacks. Well, I took my first dose last night at midnight. The immediate reactions where mixed. I felt anxiety relief - but in conjunction with extreme drowsiness and general feelings of being light and floaty and just outright high.

Through the night I struggled to relax. This morning I felt as though I couldn't breathe. My family assured me that was just persisting anxiety I had related to the medication, and I allowed myself to accept that answer. I tried to relax and eventually around 8:30 went to sleep. 

About 10 or so, I awoke feeling strange - wired, on an energy high, and with my whole body shaking and trembling. I felt terrified. My doctor had told me to take a second dose before I went to sleep in the morning (( Since I work night shift, he suggested one pill at midnight when starting work, and one before I went to sleep later, which I told him was usually around 9 AM and he said that was ok )) so as soon as I awoke, I took a second dose. After a few minutes the trembling and shaking has subsided. My chest feels a little warm, but I have a history of heartburn. My muscles do feel a little tense still. 

My family and friends I've reached out to tell me I shouldn't worry. This is anxiety and the pills need to be given time to work in my body. I believe them but im scared that I'm having some negative reaction and I'm in danger. 

Has anyone else taken these medicines? Am I ok? Am I going to be ok? Should I be afraid? 

I tried calling my doctor and his receptionist said she'd get someone to call me asap but it's been about 30 minutes and nothing. I'm worried.
