I still vote for trying to get a sufficient dose of Valium. clonazepam dosex 20=valium dose, so you'd probably need 30mgs+/- .valium is easier to taper, acts quickly, and lasts a while. Drug induced depression is always an issue w/ BZD drugs, but its not as big a deal (from what I understand) w/ Valium as with Klonopin.
Ativan doesn't last as long as many other bzd drugs and is less potent than xanax. Some experts claim that its less addictive than xanax, but...I don't buy it, personally. I do like Ativan more than xanax, but that's largely because xanax is like napalm to me...it gets rid of the anxiety and also obliterates my ability to be around people, be productive, etc.
I hope your doc will Rx something tolerable and helpful.
