So my new doc, in the previous post, prescribes sinemet. Really uncomfortable with that.
But my old doc prescribed clonazepam or xanax, my choice.
Depression and anxiety and lousy sleep are the symptoms I'm concerned about. All the common meds you can think of have been tried.
Here's the thing. I have tried regular xanax twice, for one week each time, at about 1mg to 2mg a day. It was awesome. I felt completely normal. Very relaxed, comfortable, and my longstanding andehonic no-motivation kind of depression just vanished. Afraid of addiction, I tapered off after just a week each time.
I'm wondering though, would that good antidepressant effect last? I mean, months, years? I'm almost certain it would poop out at some point, maybe even at just a couple weeks. Does anyone have any experience with xanax or xanax xr as antidepressants with longterm good results?
