HI Alan,
I guess benzo's are best for people with only anxiety disorders, but what about those of us with both? I can feel my benzo helps(tranzene) with anxiety, but it doesn't help with the depression. Sometimes it makes it worse or makes me stupid at times. I am on a TCA, benzo, lithium combo. If I could get on an ssri that would allow me to work out(my TCA screws me up after working out) I would gladly switch. But, I don't think I will ever go off my benzo completely. The guy who mangaes to make a great benzo med that helps with depression would make a fortune. Maybe lexapro will help me with both better than my current TCA. Even if it allowed me to get off the lithium I would be grateful.
