clonazpeam reduces the utilization of serotonin....i know that sounds wierd, but clonazepam itself does downgrade serotonin in some cases....i've read diffrent sources that are conflicting, but this came straight from medpedia
http://wiki.medpedia.com/Clonazepam
2nd paragraph end of the sentence...i again didnt think before i wrote...what i ment was klono makes the person depressed...and getting off it it would increase the release of sero....but also anxiety is associated with withdrawl...that's why sodium channel blockers would stop glumate release, even though like lamictal and trileptal are not GABA meds...they reduce the firing in the brain, calming it in a wierd manner....
Yes Gabatril....its a GABA reptake inhibtor, its vary good for siezures, and over active firing which could cause anixety from little GABA.
once source directly states depakote is effective...but the downside is that it was only 1 study...its not widely published that its effective.
http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00570219i ran across too...this is a big site on benzos....withdrawls
http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzcha03.htm
"Several other drugs have been tested in clinical trials of benzodiazepine withdrawal to see if they could speed the process, prevent or alleviate withdrawal symptoms, or improve the long-term success rate. Many of these trials have involved what is considered here as over-rapid withdrawal. For example, a recent US study of benzodiazepine withdrawal in long-term users (Rickels, Schweizer et al. Psychopharmacology 141,1-5,1999) tested the effects of a sedative antidepressant (trazodone, Desyrel) and an anticonvulsant drug (sodium valproate, Depakote). "that site should help beeb too...
but to get back....you know lorazepam in my opinion is a bit better than klono beccause its used so widely in hospitals, psych wards, for agitated patients and its recorded that it work well...that's why they don't use xanax or klono when to sedate a violent patient, they use ativan. I think its a good benzo...but back to what i was saying....beeb should work with the doctor...its difficult to work with some, and persuation with difficult doctors is a good stradegy.
thanks scott....
