Hi Mitch
Wow you have a good memory! (or you did a search ;)
yeah - the tegretol worked a bit - but not enough. Am now on Paxil 60mg and 15mg buspar. Have only been on the buspar 2 weeks - so it might be enough to kick start the paxil. Otherwise the doc has suggested depakote to augment. (Have read horror stories about hair falling out etc though) I have tried klonopin and it does work well - but in the complete opposite to everyone here - my doc wants me to take it but I don't want to be reliant on benzos. I feel like referring all the people on this board with benzophobe docs to my doc - but NZ might be a little to far to travel even for a good doc. ; )
cheers
Jackie

> Hi Jackie, it *does* reduce panic anxiety, but not as effectively as Klonopin. Suggest a combo of Depakote+Neurontin to your pdoc. That worked quite nicely for me in the past. Did the Tegretol poop out on you?
