> What's good for anxiety when you've taken Xanax before and it made you too sleepy - low dose don't remember how many mg. And, when I took Lexapro it made me sleepy and ravenously hungry. I DON'T want to gain ANY weight, and I want to still desire to do my exercise. It has taken me forever to get down to where I am now.

> Anyway, so what won't make me tired or gain any weight? I'm on Adderall XR and Ambien now. I have a high level of anxiety normally, but now, when the Adderall wears off, the anxiety is so high I feel like I can feel every nerve in my body. Of course I know that's an exageration, but .....

Hi. Klonopin works well for me in a low dose (.25-.5mg day). If you are worried about increased appetite, ATivan might be a good choice. When I took Ativan, I had no desire to eat. It took away my appetite. ATivan's a bi*** to get off of, though.Marsha
