> I had come through libriums, xanaxs, ativans and rivotrils. But none of them gave me the exact relief I needed. Then definitely not more than a few months ago, I decided to try sulpiride and I never had to regret.
> PLSPLS, glad to hear you're feeling better! Please keep in mind, though, some of us are non-responders to these things, and the head-to-head comparisons of the trycyllics don't prove they're more effective than the newer SSRIs and SNRIs and Cymbalta.
Many people, and you'd be one of 'em if you saw me in class trying to talk with such a stressed voice my professors and classmates give me the pity look- need the immediate relief of something like Klonopin.
After sticking it out while I was trying out Lexapro, my doc two months later just put me on Klonopin to add to the Lexapro, which he just up'd to 20mg. I may give it another month before switching to Cymbalta, the last antidepressant on the market for me to try.
My class participation isn't what it used to be back when I was on 1mg of Klonopin 3x/day last school year. Now that I have Klonopin, it'll be interesting to observe the rest of my class today notice how calm and smooth I am when I am on the stuff and talk in class. It's like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr Hyde-- in the past, people literally can't get over the difference in me.
I am still vigilant about maximizing my AD dose and switching as needed, as I have depression now anyway. I may add some Lithium (already tried Lamictal but got a rash), Seligiline, and Cymbalta. Maybe Stratera will come me down, but there's just too many med changes to bother with it before christmas break for me. I had ADD, soc. anx. dis., and depression. Severe procrastionation.
