Jeffrey,

I am sorry you are going through such a terrible time now. I know all too well how it feels to be in such mixed states.....depression coupled with crushing anxiety and agitation. I tried effexor but it exacerbated the anxiety and made me feel too "spacey". After a two-year med trial period of everything known to man, I have been pretty stable on 50 mg of zoloft in the am and 2 mg of Klonopin and 2.5 mg of zyprexa at night for sleep. The night time med combo relaxes me, decreases the anxiety, and allows me to sleep peacefully. I do feel a tad foggy in the morning but after two cups of coffee, I am fine. I am also a professional and need to keep my mind sharp so the zyprexa scared me at first. I have found that the minor side effects I experience with the experience is well worth it. You may want to ask your pdoc about increasing your Klonopin dose first and if that doesn't help, adding a small dose of zyprexa or seroquel.

I hope today was a better day for you.

Sincerely,

Nicole
