Just curious how long you have been on the Anafranil? I am considering trying it over Remeron, mostly because I have heard Anafranil is much more effective for Depression and Anxiety. I've also been thinking of Imipramine, but the Anafranil seems to show better results.
By the way, you mean .5 miligrams of Xanax, right? ;-) 50-150 miligrams may kill somebody. (Xanax comes in .25, .5, and 1 miligram strength tabs.)
Thanks..
