I just want to find a med that is the "magic" pill I guess. I've tried so many over the years. I had a great therapist way back when I was first diagnosed. I felt great for a number of years but then the anxiety returned again. I haven't found a therapist I liked since then. I seem to have a really hard time with the AD's. The Klonopin is great but I take it on a as needed basis. I think I will cut back the Lex to 5 mg and maybe add Klonopin. I take a 1/2 of Klonopin here and there and I'm good to go. I'll see my clown doctor this Friday and ask him his opinion...just for the heck of it.

Hi Capri, dont give up on the lex yet it is still early. Dont feel bad about moving back to 5mg if you do. At one time I could only tolerate 2.5mg of lexapro. I was on zoloft and paxil and know nothing about Remeron. I can understand your frustration bouncing from med to med. I could not handle klonopin when I tried it. Just did not like the feeling. I settled on the xanax. But the klonopin is stronger, did you ever try xanax instead of klonopin. Some people take 4 or 5 mgs of klonopin a day and say they are doing fine. I had 4 docs in like a 5 month span. Calling them clown doctors is an injustice to clowns if you know what I mean. At least the clowns cheer you up. Ive read exercise is very helpful for anxiety. Ever try jogging? I hope the lex works and wish I had an answer to the magic pill for you. TAKE CARE!!!!
