Hi Cubbybear
Gee, living in Thailand it must be about 1am or 2am in the morning. Shouldn't you be in bed getting some healing and recuperative shut-eye. I can't really talk because I actually live much closer to you than Europe and am also in the Asia-Pacific region. I live in Australia and it is well past midnight as I write this post :).
I will be going to bed as soon as I hit the submit button for this post.Yes, I would also like to remain in contact!! Can I ask what the probability would be of you lapsing back into depression without an AD Med in your system. I would really love to to see whether the minimum 300mg maintenance dose of Aurorix can prevent you relapsing back into depression so please keep me posted. Aurorix also has non or very few dietary restriction compared to the traditional MAOI's and this is another positive factor in it's favour.
Can I ask whether you have any other medical diagnoses other than depression and anxiety. For example do you suffer from any burnout or chronic fatigue as a result of your depression and anxiety?
Finally, can I ask why you are coming off the Clonazepam at this stage? (In your original post you said you "have" to start coming off this med) Do you no longer need this med (especially in relation to your anxiety) or are you simply unhappy taking too many meds and wish to see how you function without it? Have you experienced any problems with this med? I am interested in this question as I am also taking a benzo for my own anxiety (my social anxiety of course). My Pdoc has me on Diazepam and I am very happy with this med at this stage but I am keen to hear the experiences of others with the benzo's.
Keep in touch
