> Hello, Vincent. Im not on Lamictal, but am on clonazepam. Doesnt that control your anxiety? I thought the benzos were the gold standard. Good luck to you.
Hi ;-)
Yes i'm on clonazepam, 7 mg day, I have a high tolerance to all the benzo anxiolytic effect now. They don't help me anymore...Once in a while, when I have to get out of the house for a Doc appointment I take a Xanax, it help me a little bit more than the Clonazepam, but the anxiety is still there, it's just helping to be able to decrease the intensity of the panic attack... Returning on the Xanax only is a no no solution for me since my previous history of high addiction to the Xanax, 12 mg day, when I ending at the hospital back in 2008 and who lead to the worse withdrawal process I had to deal with in my life...Thanks again, will hope it will work... Paxil or Lamictal... not sure about the Lamictal since I just read again the monograph of it and it can cause anxiety and cardiovascular side-effects and change in ECG who can lead to cardiac arrhytmia, and i'm already prone to cardiac arrhytmia because of the severe anxiety...
