A lot of what you say makes sense; though i
am not sure that your theory about ADs and
depression is actually put in practice; it
may very well be the case the depression remits,
but i know of no dr. who once giving an AD does
not continue to do so for "prophylactic" reasons.Even with lithium (a class of its own) i was
a little shocked to read the booklet I ordered
from the Madison Institute of Medicine which
advises that once lithium is given, it can be later
taken away as many patients simply do not have
recurring episodes - whaaaaa!About benzos, as i said I hardly feel Klonopin,
but the Xanax should have been raised or removed
when tolerance was reached - and the constant
anxiety and panic resulting from that really
killed a normal life; i question the intitial need
for at least X as the Synthroid was too high and
that in itself is like speed - once lowered it
eliminiated anxiety, short sleep and panic - but
it was mostly the Xanax.I believe you about ADs because so many people
complain of their w/d intensity - i think the basisc
difference between severity has to be put in
persepective with time taken.Squiggles
