> Another option might be to switch from amitriptyline to doxepin for sleep - its a more potent 5HT2A blocker, so hits anxiety even better than amitriptyline.
I believe this is accurate. I didn't know about the 5-HT2a thing, so I looked it up. Also, I have seen the successful use of doxepin to reduce anxiety. Interestingly, the only drug treatment that ever worked for a friend of mine who suffers from an anxious depression (most likely bipolar) was a combination of Nardil + doxepin.
> You could also have a benzo to take PRN when anxiety was especialy bad, tolorance shouldnt be a problem under those conditions
Do you think Xanax (alprazolam) would be a good choice?
IR vs XR?
