I have been using ativan to help with the anxiety. I would rather be on clonazepam (what you are on) as it is longer acting. My doc said the clonazepam made me look too sedated so he chose ativan. I may change to clonazepam as it works much longer before you need another dose.

I have been diagnosed bipolar. Which probably explains why all the anti-depressants aggitate me or make me feel anxious. I hope the Lithium kicks on soon and that I get the same reaction my brother does. I may need to get off EMSAM soon. Even at 6mg I feel anxious... and getting a few anxiety attacks.

I really don't know whether to bother trying another anti-depressant (There is only one or two I have not tried) but see what Lithium will do for me.

I am glad for you than the klonopin has really helped you with the anxiety. It is an effective medication. Even with the high dose of ativan I am taking it is hard to manage the anxiety I feel... which I attribute to EMSAM.

Do others have trouble with EMSAM anxiety and have to stop taking it...? or just those with Bipolar?

John
