I just went to my psychiatrist today to get some Klonapin, but he steered me away from it due to its addictive qualities and bad withdrawals (He's an "anti-benzo" doc). He encouraged me to try Cymbalta instead. I've read a bit about it; it's more like Effexor (an SSNRI), from what I gather. I'm not certain if this is the best drugs for my symptoms, which tend to be on the GAD, panic, OCD, agoraphobic side. I'm going to give it a wing, but my sense is that this drug will increase, rather than decrease, my overall anxiety.
All feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
