I don't really like giving a lot of med advice, but I can honestly say, and will put money on this, that benzos, for me in particular, have been *the only* lifesaver especially in difficult times.

Jay. I had a similar experience and have been on BZD monotherapy for several years now having lost much of the last 15 or so years trying to "make" every conceiveable form of AD or combo ssri and BZD, or anticonvulsant/AD/BZD , etc, work for me. I ended up feeling like a square peg trying to be put into a round hole.

Many docs feel that a patient is simply "unresponsive" or "atypical" if the patient doesn't fit their own criteria for what they perrceive as a diagnosing through the technique of "Listening to the Drug" (as so well described iny Peter Kramer's best seller, "Listening to Prozac").

PLEASE read this fantastic website I came accross about PD and anxiety in general....especially medicine therapy such as ssri's and the BZD's. My doc specialising in the treatment of anxiety disorders read it and passed out copies to their entire staff as reference to well written, patient accessable information:

It's longish but worth every drop!!!
