Dear Michael,
I do have problems with anxiety, and that is why I take neurontin and always have some klonopin handy. I am bipolar II they say......While it has been easy for me to get off of meds, I am generally resistant to meds (except for neurontin at between 1200-2400 mgs/day). Celexa, then lexapro and lamictal seemd to pull me out of the most horrible and loooooooong lasting depression imaginable(suicide attempt, nasty hospital stay...the whole nine yards, ending with a bankruptcy because I had no health insurance and couldn't get medicaid) <irrelevant> . The thing is that I always have seemed to need a bit of neurontin (I prefer it to klonopin because it doesn't make me depressed as benzos sometimes can for me).
SSRIs never did a thing for anxiety issues for me.
Michael, I am happy to type on and on, but I don't want to bore you or anyone else!!!
Do you want to know anything more specific? I am happy to talk about anything if it can be of help.Diane
