> Hey Tamara:
> Hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery....must be heard to type, huh???-- Thanks Jas. It is hard to type. I have been reduced to the one hand hunt and peck technique. Very slow. Perhaps I should try to train myself to type with my feet - it would probably be just as fast!
> I just wanted to recommend the Celexa/Klonopin combo I was on all spring & summer. I have GAD, that does come with social anxiety in my severe moments, but not usually a feature of my condition.
-- It I will restart Celexa in the next few days, and ask the pdoc for Provigil to augment when I see him next.
> Of all the drug combo's I've tried, a low dose of Celexa (10mg) and low dose of Klonopin (.25 to.5mg) was the most effective. However, as you may recall, I had miserable side effects to Celexa and ended up coming off it. I still take the Klon. because it's the only thing that helps my anxiety. I take .25mg daily (I'm still fiddling around with tryptophan augmentation, + magnesium, niacinamide...not too bad, but not as effective as Celexa & Klon. combo).
-- I would like to eventually try Klonopin, but may have a hard enough time getting Provigil. So, I will continue to use the Xanax for now as needed.
> I disagree that Klonopin inevitably causes depression. I have not found so.
-- That's good to know. It really is so true that no two people will react the same way to a med. I have heard of some people experiencing a dampening of mood and others not being affected in that way at all.

> That's my 2 cents. Hope you find your answer soon.
> Take care
> Jas-- Thanks again. Your 2 cents are greatly appreciated!
