Hi,
>Clomipramine helps somewhat but it makes me *VERY* dumb........
Clomipramine's very anticholinergic, it can worsen memory. You could try one of the less anticholinergic TCAs. What about nortriptyline?
>Dumb to the point that I panic, because I can't remember the simplest things.
Kind of paradoxical but its true.The same thing sometimes happens to me with benzodiazepines.
>Off all antidepressants, I am not terribly depressed as much as I am anxious......
I still think you should consider Nardil! MAOIs are often effective for anxiety.
>I would really like to try buspar but unfortunately doctors don't really like to prescribe that one anymore.
It's got a good safety record, I'm pretty sure they'd prescribe it if you asked.
>Nicotine really helps my anxiety which makes me surprised.
Are you using the gum?
Kind regards,
Ed.
