I don't know. I had a small trial of Ativan once, it just made me tired. Granted, the dose may not have been much (I dont remember what it was) Same with Xanax-took it a couple of days, no effect, although I was drinking at the time, so that's no surprise.
I took Klonopin .5mg BID from Monday thru Friday, I have been on the verge of tears the whole time (or outright crying), I've felt more depressed than in a long time, felt nauseous...this has not been fun. I see my pdoc Monday, she said over the phone she is concerend that there is more serious depression under this (she's new, maybe I didn't tell her about the daily daydreams of sticking a knife in my heart...) and feels we need to be more aggressive...I am apprehensive, what could that mean? and I hope it doesn't mean we ignore the anxiety.
I want to go back on Geodon. I was a different person, even if my head was fogged. Maybe if I kept the dose very low I can have the antianxiety effect, but akathisia doesn't set in that in time nullifies the anxiolytic effect (that's my wishful theory right now).
