Hi Jay --
About the benzo, I king of agree partially with you about the xanax. But I got to disagree about the Clonazepam. The 'possibility' of depression with Clonazepam is more than real and trust me is an hell; just when you got one of the (THE) worst depression of your life you are forced to withdraw from benzo, which combine with this kind of depression is 95% sure to put your *ss in hospital for a long time.
Having been there, I would recommend to try EVERYTHING you possibly can and are willing to before resigning to go on Clonazepam, which is better than nothing after you failed everything.
I know that I sound very severe.. but Clonazepam almost cost me my life and even being an SP.. I think it's not worth it.. prefer a certain level of discomfort than the Clonazepam risks.
Would like to know what you think about that people ..
Hey Scott.. what's your progress now ? feel anything different ?

I'd say you might hit a near-perfect shot right now if you added a potent benzo like Xanax...2-3mg's a day...or you could try the old standby, clonazepam...but I have to take about 9mg's of that stuff for it to work on my anxiety. Still...others get by with small doses of even 0.5mg's a day. I would say that benzos would be the only class of drugs you could add to stop your anxiety cold in-it's-path right-away.
