> Nardil raises brain GABA levels as well as all three of the major neurotransmitters. It generally works better than the SSRI's although there are more side effects, especially weight gain.
> As for benzos, it's generally recommended that you take them regularly every day, as opposed to on an as needed basis. People are more likely to get addicted when taking on an "as needed" basis. It leads to pill popping whenever you feel any stress.

Hello Dwight, and thanks for the input :)
I think I can try to put out with the Nardil side effects, but if Nardil make me apathetic like Paroxetin/Paxil did, I am not sure if I should take it. Also I am not depressed. I think just increasing GABA would be the best, but doc's here don't like prescribing benzos for long term use.

I agree with you on the "benzo popping thing". Actually, if you just take them as needed you think "I have anxiety/panic and have to take a pill. Not excactly the way to build up some self esteem. When taking them every day, you just don't think any thing of it. Am I sick now? Do I need a pill again? Too bad the doctors don't agree with us.
