I am having difficulty. I am reluctant to reduce the paxil (no guts?). I am eager to try the amilsipride. However, I have tried 2 mg. of clonazepam daily and feel such a positive step change I am reluctant to further experiment. I am told that clonazepam is addictive and is therefore non-desirable, however, it is such an effective social anxiety med. My doc. is reluctant to go with the clono because it is potentially addictive. Wow, life has gotton good since clono, what should I be watching out for? Also, my doc's recomendation to go from 40 to 60 mg. on Paxil- is this ok? Is it ok to add in, as, of course, an experiment, 25 to 50 mg. of amulsipride on top of everything else ok? For me clonazepam is so much more effective for SAD than xanax. Life is getting better but I am not an experienced experimenter (I need to maintain a notebook). The adrafinil seemed ok for a while until I withdrawled (could be a southern term) it, then things got neg. I tried provigal for a week but that did not work for me (might as well suck on coffee beans - wow). Should I try the 60 mg. of Paxil and see what it does before I demand clono? Is clono a long term solution? Ouch!, confusion abounds. Help if you can. Love ya.
