Thanks for that feedback. I've taken Klonopin (and I'm on Xanax now 1.5-2mg a day). But benzos, they just don't get to the depth of my anxiety. They just gloss over the surface. I've tried to explain this to my p-doc many times; I think he gets it, he just doesn't know where to go with me.
I have never tried an antipsychotic for any length of time beyond a few days. I still have my "physical health" (despite my life being completely destroyed by severe anxiety), and I cannot see worrying about massive weight gain, diabetes (my blood sugar has always been normal), and akathisia, tardive dyskinesia, and heart disease for the possibility of my being a partially functional wage slave.
How were the side effects on Seroquel for you? How are the side effects for any other antipsychotics you are on now?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Chris
