WOW!! your doctor must really trust your state of mind!! Happy to see that there are still some good Doctors out there. My mother is a diagnosed paranoid and at age 83 is also on two anti psychotics (trilaphon and risperdal) and two anti depressives (elivil and paxil), in addition to 6mgs xanax and 15 mg ambien. She is also on namenda (even thought see had no plaques revealed on her mri). This cocktail was good enough for her to be non psychotic and not depressed but she still could not function well socially ( she is a shut in). Perhaps some klonopin would made her socially functional, as you are now. I'll bring a copy of this thread to her doctor and maybe she will benefit from the addition of klonopin.
