that's why you must taper down. maybe it's just me, but the taper for the old tcas and maois is a week. even in carefully monitored combos, which does work, and is common practice in the Northwest states, and considered too dangerous by some---even then 'noway' does this correlate to the problems i keep hearing from posters as you.
as for xanax? well, you take even low-dose benzos daily and try to quit that cold---then you'll see trouble---if this is a temp measure, real temp, you may get away with it. for instance, i've been tossed in cardiac icu from massive panic attacks--i know The Fear. you know what i mean. i would not touch a benzo unless i knew it was 'the big one coming'---you can tell. the temptation to use daily is powerful, non-panic disorder people have absolutely no idea of what these deals are like. but perhaps you may learn from my experience as a rich cash pay/week client of shrinks---they all said 'take the panic, not the pill.' i got hooked fast on benzos in the medicare system---not as a $$$ paying ceo. i had no idea of the disaster benzo use brings. it would be good, if you never found out. regards
