Well I know when I first graduated from nursing school before the SSRI's I had a good pdoc in Ct. He prescribed ludiomil. He said to take it at night. Don't remember the dose but he said it wasn't a large one. I remember being kinda in a haze like half asleep all night long. I was in good shape then and only took .5ativan each day. I had to be at work the next day and felt like I was in a haze all day. When I got home I flushed them down the toilet and didn't take it again. And when i first had my panic attacks I was given what was called an upper-downer by the pdoc. I took it and cried and walked around the block with my ex-husband all night. I never took that one again. I wish I could remember what it was but I had no medical knowledge then and I don't. The only AD I ever took that gave a dramaticlly positive response was prozac when it first came out. It was only available in 20mg capsules then. lst day felt great wallpapered the foyer, 2nd day was anxious, 3rd day panic attacks that took 3 days of xanax to feel okay again. The pdoc was so upset with me because he said please take it you had such a remarkable response to it. Just take it every three days. But I was scared. The new pdoc I have now said she would give it to me. Maybe I should have tried it. Fondly, Phillipa
