> Since your primary symptom is anxiety the first order of business is a benzo (Klonopin or Xanax or a combination of the two), to get the anxiety under control. At the same time you could start an AD. Paxil is a good choice. So are TCAs, imipramine or amitryptiline pop first to mind. When your at a steady state with the AD, try backing off the benzos, slowly, to see if the AD alone controls the anxiety. If it doesn't stay on the benzos.
What exactly to benzos do? will they stabilize my moods, or are they more of a take as needed? also, are the side effects similar to ADs?
