Alan, I am intrigued by the information in the link you posted, but from what I read it addresses panic attacks - not GAD. Perhaps I didn't read enough of it? I do have panic attacks every now and then, but also have GAD and depression. I take Wellbutrin SR 150 mg. twice a day for depression and have Ativan on hand for panic attacks. I have tried Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, and imipramine for the GAD, but only imipramine helped at all and the SSRIs had the nasty sexual side effects. I don't like the dry mouth that imipramine gives me and would like to avoid going back on. I would love to take Ativan (or another benzo) for GAD on a daily basis if it was indicated because it is pretty much the only thing that allows me to relax. I do not drink alcohol at all, nor have I ever taken recreational drugs.
