With my personal experience with all of the mentioned drugs, I would ask to go on Prozac for your depression and Xanax for your Panic Attacks. Or if your doctor wont prescribe you xanax ask for Klonipin. I found the Prozac/Xanax prescription to work best for me, followed by Prozac/Klonipin- Klonipin stays in your system longer and I found builds up and caused me daytime drowsiness. I too am going to my Phyc. tommorrow to ask for the Pozac/Xanax Combo after my Reg. Medical Doctor suddenly took me off the xanax after 3 years on it. I was very productive on the combo, until the doctor started messing with the dosage of xanax and putting me on Klonipin at the same time. He did not tell me he was weaning me off of it. He just started reducing my strenghts down to the .25mg. Good Luck.. You know what I find amazing, is my doctor tried to put me on Effexxor and Klonipin, Instead of what was working Prozac and Xanax. I had a bad reaction to the Effexxor and demanded to be put back on Prozac. Question to the Room: Why would a doctor remove a person from one such drug Xanax, because it is addictive, and then turn around and put you on from what I have read a worse addictive drug Effexxor, and Klonipin is in the same class as Xanax so What is the reasoning behind it. Can anyone answer this??? I would love to hear your oppinions.
> Just recently requested to my doctor to go back on paxil. Years ago I was on xanax for a panic disorder without a phobia. Was on xanax for several years then weened myself off of that and went on paxil 40mg. I was trying this effexor months ago at 75mg and the last month or so 150mg for depression. I seemed to feel worse being on it so that is why I requested to go back on paxil.Wondering if I should ask to try this welbutrin some of you have mentioned.
