I'm on Lexapro 10mgs. Prior to Lexapro I was Klonopin monotherapy for an anxiety disorder. I did do several trials of SSRI's before I utilized only Klonopin. I swore I would never touch an AD again... However, my status changed and while my anxiety was fairly well controlled, a clinical level depression became apparent, so something had to change. Some might point to my exclusive K use as the cause of the depression. Prehaps long term benzo was a factor, but I don't feel it's contribution was great. Deep down I know my status simply changed. TCA's, MAOI's, and atypicals were not appealing to me for various reasons. I had not tried Celexa nor Lexapro. So, it was decided to give one last SSRI one more chance. My depression lifted and my K use is very minimal and not daily as was previous.I do think going on Lex made a big difference for me. Others may question, but I'm living a life better than I have in, probably, years.
