In reply to What's the best benzo in wait for AD to work?, posted by blanding on December 23, 2004, at 17:24:33
Xanax is a good short-term mood-elevator...if you want to take a benzo long term, I'd recommend xanax xr or clonazepam. I read an abstract of a small study that found that 3mgs of Klonopin+AD did way more for depression than just the AD, and was particularly good for subjects labelled "treatment resistant". It was a small study though, and few shrinks I know will Rx 3mgs klonopin right off...sorry about going off topic: xanax should work nicely for you. I personally found Ativan to be about as effective.
