hello Jade
i'm a little loopy right now from ambien (which at 12:47am it still not really working)
so i hope my words come out right.klonopin, xanax, and ativan are the typical benzo's. if you want to try something a little differnt i was on perphenazine for a while (very low dose i think 2mg? maybe cant remember for sure but it was low and for a while it worked very very well. no weight gain.
also, i'm on gabapentin right now for anxiety and it works great. i still have break through, but thats more when i start getting a mixed episode, so the anxiety is induced from that. i had a friend that was on 100mg about 3x a day and that worked great for her. i am on 300mg either 3-5x day depending.
the only bad thing about gaba is that for me it seems to take about 2 hours before i really feel an effect.you asked "You dont have any w/d's taking it that way?"
do you mean withdrawls? no i do not. if i'm on ten then i taper to 5 for a day or so then stop. i've been off and on it for many years, easily start up and easily stop. have not ever had issues.
i will notice some let down for about a week. can worsen depression. i have also had a few mood bouce up after coming off it (which was always a blessing for me). but again it may last a week or so but then you are back to your normal symptoms.b2
