Thanks Maxime. That's the difficulty for me with this decision: I'm soft BP, and some of the anxiety might be "mixed state" sorts of stuff. But I feel like the Klonopin just isn't cutting down very much on the anxiety (esp. as compared to a "comparable" amount of Xanax). Plus it might be slowing me down/making me a little depressed.
So I think I'm going to try for Valium (or maybe Ativan) and keep the BP stuff in check with Lithium and/or Depakote.
Anyway, thanks for the input.
I hope that you start feeling well again soon. I know it's hard, but try not to let the posts by a certain (now blocked) babbler get to you. I mostly lurk on this board, and have read a lot of your posts. You're really helpful to a lot of people, me included.
Best,
