Thanks for the comments. I thought I'd get answers like these though. Seems I might be better off without a benzo. I have a short holiday 2nd week of October & I see my pdoc shortly after I return so maybe we'll discuss weaning me off the clonazepam, maybe with the aid of gabapentin (if he agrees).
I've tried both modafinal & bupropion (both whilst on Nardil) but both increased anxiety in the long run. Never tried Tianeptine or Amisulpride though, maybe I'll mention these to my doc. Tianeptine especially sounds interesting, at least from what I've just read so far. Though I'm not sure I'm ready for an AP (ie, amisulpride) yet.
I've just started mirtazepine 30mg/day so I'll know if its done any good by the time I see my doc next.
Just wish there were more 'indicated' drugs for SP (I mean ones that actually work). It would/might save a lot a trial & error!
