Thanks for the information, Viridis. I tried Xanax in August 2002 for a month. It worked very well initially. I was euphoric. But it worked less and less as the weeks went by, even on larger doses. I then stopped taking it, and the anxiety was ten times as bad. I could not tolerate any of the SSRIs. I never tried Strattera (spelling?). I thought it was supposed to be stimulating. Hmm. Does it work for agitated depression? How is it different from an SSRI? Did you ever find any anti-depressant that worked? Every day I swim, meditate, and do yoga. I get massage once a week and do gigong once a week. The morning anxiety still is hardly manageable. This has been going on for over one year, and I realize I need something to deal with my brain chemistry.
Thanks for caring. Dannnen
