> btw it works in part the same way nardil, by blocking metabolism of gaba. can have some nasty side effects of hair loss, weight gain. have you ever tried buspirone? i think one of those might be useful to replace the daily benzo, like the lyrica might be useful prn. it might work just to have a different type of medicine. still, i think for most people depakote is more side effects than a benzo. hope the apt goes well

> -d/rI think benzos and all the others gaba-b type of meds works differently on everyone. Like I wrote yesterday, some people became addicted fast on benzos, others dont... Lyrica or Neurontin work on some people, for some people thats not working at all...
My point of view is ...the more comorbidities you have (example: Primary problem = SAD with comorbidities of GAD, panic disorder + agoraphobia, depression, BDD, ADD + fast addiction or past abuse of drugs or alcohol...) and harder your problem will be resolved... mean a lot of trials, therapies, combo... I also think the modern psychiatric medecine don't know really how the anxiety problems works in the brains... For some people, the SSRI's will work, for others like me the SSRI's will decrease their state...seem like the SE is not implicated in the anxiety process, at least the social anxiety... the med who work on the NE and DA seem to increase also the anxiety ... some people talk about the difference between meds who inhibt the SE, NE and DA VS the meds who block the reuptake of the SE, NE, DA...it's seem that the ones who block the reuptake increase the anxiety... so I wonder what are the meds who just do the inhibition of the SE, the NE or the DA ??? That'S the question...On some website, I read that some meds do both action...block the reuptake and inhibt it...so what is the diffirence??? Why one is more good than the other one... I don'T know... Why some people with social anxiety will react very well on stimulant drugs and improve...and why some people like me will decrease on them... at the same time, why I decrease also on drugs who produce a too much sedative effect or a too much relaxant effect???
So much questions...so less answer...I'm just totally lost...
