Hi there: I'm on Effexor XR 75mg (150mg makes the anxiety worse) and have been on this drug for a good few years now. My pdic has tried all number of things to help with the anxiety: clonazepam (Klonopin), beta blockers, alprazolam, blah, blah blah ...
Bottom line: The benzo's only give *mild* relief for anxiety at very high doses. By high I mean 8mg of Klonopin or 10 mg of alprazolam. It's like I'm "immune" to benzo's.
My pdoc is suggesting that we try Seroquel 25 mg at night for the anxiety. Has anyone elso used Seroquel for anxiety and what results (side-effects and clinical benefits) did you get?
