It worked really well for GAD-type symptoms. High-potency BZD's tend to produce a "drunk" like feeling (Xanax), memory problems (Ativan), or fatigue (Klonopin-I am taking low-dose of now). Diazepam worked the best for GAD (in my case), but it clearly worsened my depressive symptoms. So, for a year or two I kind of bounced back and forth between Chlord. and diazepam. The Chlord. definitely provoked less depression. Hmm.. maybe that is why they included it in Limbitrol tabs (amitriptyline+chlordiazepoxide)??? That that was the first med that contained an BZD that I was ever prescribed (back in 1979).Mitch
