Choosing Between Medications: Vyvanse vs Clonopin

I was on Vyvanse and my primary Dr took me off it after 7 years because he said it interfered with the low dose of clonopin I have been taking for years. It helped me so much! I had to make a choice between the two. I chose clonopin but I think the Vyvanse might have helped with my anxiety? Any thoughts?

Is there something you can substitute for klonopin for your anxiety? My daughter has had good results with hydroxyzine.

Please please please be careful with that clonipin. That is the hardest thing to come off of even worse than heroin it's a life long addiction once it starts. Even though it's a low dose the fact you've been taking it for years means your addicted I'm really sorry. Doctors need to communicate the dangers and I personally believe benzos should be illegal

Do you have any good suggestions as to how I could wean myself off the clonopin? It's hell when I don't take it. 😊
