> I also take Xanax for the "busy head" but need an antidepressant to counteract the depressant effect of Xanax. I never take more than .50 mg and usually only at night. But .25 works for daytime use when needed. Ativan was too sedating for me. With Xanax I feel awake in the morning. Hope you find the right answer for you. We are all so different.
I've been on Wellbutrin 300mg for 6 monts and still have busy head, jitters and insomnia. My doctor prescribed ativan 2 months ago, saying that I may have anxiety. I don't feel like I have anxiety. I take 1mg of ativan at night and usually sleep. the downside is it makes me almost nonorgasmic. I' ve been trying to get off of it but cannot sleep at all without it. I'm going back to my doctor and see if there is anything else to do. Wellbutrin has been better for me than prozac (total "out of body experience", insomnia, sexual dysfunction, Serzone ( ineffective), and paxil (lack of sexual response, a "who cares" attitude about everything.I too, am also concerned about the long term effect of using ativan. I also want to know, is it possible to take medication for depression, and have sleep and sex, too?
