Thanks,I think I didn't make my case clear, that may be why I am being asked rather than answered. The question I see is of the peculiarity of my 2options. Indeed there are more than 2 dozens of antidepressants out there and an equal amount of benzos as well. But why should I experiment with all those while I am having a perfect fit in my hand?
For me both (Prozac and Klonopin) works well and the good effects are almost equal though there is a substantial difference in the amount of unwanted effects. 20mg prozac alone can make me well so do klonopin at 1 mg. Difference lies in the department of side effects. Prozac dampens my sexual desire but klonopin doesn't even touch it. That is the prime thing which prompted me to ask the basic question. Which should be preferred for the long-term use if both works well for a patient? This is the refractory period of my depression and currently I am not taking any medications. But time is too short and from my own experience I can say this state will not last for more than a couple of months. I should take a decision, before it is too late. So once again here is my plea for help. Please....
