Hi all - A couple of comments..

1) I've had very good results from BuSpar and benzodiazepines for anxiety. Examples: I keep a Rx of xanax with me and pop ~.25mg if I start feeling particularly nervous; fortunately, this case happens infrequently. Also, BuSpar helped hold down anxiety that seemed to be brought on by taking Effexor.

2) I fully agree with Todd that best results can be obtained psychologically. The caveat that I would add is that, for me at least, I can't think rationally/remember my cognitive distortions/etc. when I'm feeling bad, so I believe it's important to address your bio needs first, then do some therapy, read, journal, etc. Think of it as getting both your legs sturdy enough to begin a long walk..

Jim
