> What do YOU take? Just curious. Thanks.I was just wondering if there was anything in your combo that maybe helped in a 'synergystic' way. (i.e. combined together) I am on a high dose of klonipin (8mg's a day) and it's the only thing that even touches my anxiety. My doc said we could go higher if needed, or add another benzo, or add buspar. I am also on 75mg's of Effexor XR, but that really doesn't do much these days after 5 years of taking it, and I can't bother with side effects at higher doses.
I've been on buspar before, but without a benzo, and even after lengthy trials, didn't do much. I'd like to try high dose buspar, high dose benzo, and possibly stick with or pick another antidepressant. After 11 or so years of all these drugs, my body seems a bit 'immune' to them, and I need crankin high doses to get max benefit. I know this sounds like something an addict would say, but the only way I can tell if a med is working is if I have this bit of mentally feeling 'lighter' (not high..just loose..relaxed...heck I think that is all we strive for, and something so many of us with mental illness can't seem to get to.)
Anyhow...sorry for the long post...just thought it might add some light. Thanx for the response. :-)
