I like Ativan. I also like Librium, which isn't really used much anymore--if you can deal with minor sedation, 25mgs+ as-needed quells anxiety and smoothes everything out a bit, without inducing depression or very much apathy. Oxazepam apparently helps some people with depression (xanax does, too, but the doses at which it acts as an antidepressant can also cause problems with some people). If you haven't tried it yet, trying a bit of BuSpar plus a benzo might be helpful--they work on 2 different mechanisms, so the overall effect can be pretty pronounced. Since BuSpar doesn't cause sedation or anything, you can boost your antianxiety meds w/o causing undue cognitive impairment (assuming this combo works for you...it very well may not). Good luck!
