> It sounds like you have had great results, but still seemed to jump around to different AD's. Why? I am trying to change my mix since it isn't working that well anymore and I am on an old TCA, with crappy side effects. I take tranzene, but it really makes me tired, maybe klonopin would be better?? Thanks

Because I have a pretty serious anxiety disorder. I suffer from panic attacks, chronic insomnia, and basically every other symptom of every other anxiety disorder currently recognized. Clonazepam definitely helps to keep me level but it won't allow me to make a 100% recovery. I figure if I'm going to be taking medication to deal with this stuff than I had better do it right and make sure I'm 100% better and might possibly be even able to discontinue my medication at some point during my life. I'm only 24 at the moment.I don't know anything about any of the TCA's, the only drugs I've tried at one point or another are Celexa (worked amazing for my depression), Paxil (which I hated with a vengeance), and Effexor XR (which makes me hyper something or another... makes me feel like I'm on speed). My doctor is now talking about possibly trying Epival. All I know is that through everything Clonazepam has made things a Hell of a lot more bearable. It hasn't cured my problem completely, but it doesn't leave me suffering through every day.
