> I have panic disorder and depression. I'm taking 0.75 mg Klonopin and 150 mg Wellbutrin, and 5 mg (that's right) of Prozac. 300 mg of Wellbutrin gave me intensely fearful periods during the day. Frankly, my meds aren't doing much good at all-I'm still depressed and anxious. But here's the question: if I take 1 mg of Xanax at about 6 PM, the next day I feel vastely better-almost happy. My doc is fine with me taking the Xanax, so that's not a problem. I just wonder if it's worth the dependence to feel much better and if I have reason to believe it would continue to work. 1.75 mg of benzos a day seems a lot to me. 0.5 mg doesn't work the same way at all. Any thoughts on this question or alternative ideas? Thanks.
> bassmanI have been on Xanax, more often then not, ever since it his the market in the early 1980's.
It has saved my life, as it allows me to sleep, but it doesn't help with depression in my case.
