I'm a long-time reader, 1st time poster. Have suffered over 20 years with severe anxiety, OCD & panic attacks. I have tried Xanax and Ativan, and have the following observations:
Xanax, even .25 mg, puts me to sleep. On .5 of Ativan [Lorazepam], it calms me down but allows me to function with a clear head. I'm a trial lawyer [yeah, I know, great profession for someone with anxiety and panic, but I'm pretty good at it], and took an Ativan the other day on my way into court, aand was fine.
By the way, also take 15mg of Remerom at night and 100mg of Wellbutrin SR in the AM. The Remeron has left me fatigued and hung over every day, but since I haven't had a severe panic attack in quite some time, I'm afraid to stop it. Anyone else take Remeron for anxiety?
