I gave up my prozac, which was doing just ok, and went on St Johns Wort for 3 months. They were the best 3 months of my life. But then it pooped out. So now I'm back on prozac...plus xanax.
The problem is, sjw has gaba reuptake inhibition, which I feel is the part that helped me the most. During that 3 months, sjw changed something in my brain, gaba related. Ever since stopping sjw, I've had a few panic attacks and I have anxiety every day.
So I now carry xanax with me. I try to take as little as possible. Usually 1 to 1.5mg a day. I must admit, it makes my prozac work better than ever. But I am SOOOO worried about building tolerance to it, like what happened with sjw.
Any thoughts or encouragement? Any long time users of xanax still get by with a low dose?
Thanks!
