Hi Phillipa -- I actually meant that ssri's don't work for me...they just make me lazy, apathetic and fat:-(.
I actually did call my dr. already and he just gave me the go ahead to take 2mg xanax each day instead of 1mg that I usually take just for sleep. That's great and all, but like I said -- the xanax really makes me tired and really, 2mg isn't enough when you're feeling anxious all day and having panic attacks on top of it.
The abilify seems to be doing ok as far as keeping the anxiety mostly at bay, but again, I don't see that as a long term solution because it makes my personality flat and makes me gain weight.
So I'm looking for a good long term solution for the anxiety, and I don't think abilify is it. So I'm looking for good ideas for long term anxiety mgmt.
