> Wellbutrin is certainly activating, but its effect doesn't last as long as Cylert's (so you might find yourself crashing in the afternoon). It might be worth a try, though; >
I've been taking the i.r. version and liking it for months now. (i do not take it too late in the day.)
> Re: ativan: How often were you using it?
at peak: 1mg 2x/day
> re: diff. btn. xanax & ativan: Xanax is a little more potent (i.e., the effective dose will be lower than the effective dose of Ativan); Ativan lasts a little longer.
i don't need it to last long. i just need the help at the beginning.
> Have you tried dissolving it under your tongue rather than swallowing it?
yes, i was "resorting" to dissolving it under my tongue and found it to work much quicker than just swallowing it. still, it lacked the "kick" i needed to calm the panic (i'm not referring to that "benzo-feeling" but rather to feeling an edge in taking control of an out-of-control feeling/situation.)
>< sonata > Yes. It's very short-acting. It works best for people who wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.
hmmm. that would be me. i can get to sleep usually. occasionally i can't and then ambien works fine. it's waking up and waking up and waking up that's most of the problem. any sonata- sideeffects issues you know about?
thanks. -terra
