Just as an interesting addition to this thread, I use xanax in what Dr Shipko calls the "anti biotic method" which sounds a bit like the previous descriptions of steroid use.
That is I take a short course when needed.
Short course means 3-4 days only.
The effect of this can last as long as 3-4 months or as little as 2 weeks, and I actually feel even better on the day I stop the Xanax.
Could it be that the xanax is (temporarily) resetting something, ie the HPA axis.
In my case it must be permanently weakened as a resetting is needed every so often, but xanax has never failed yet, and at a low dose ( 0.375- 0.5 mg)
It is massively more effective for me than remeron, but then again I guess my symptoms were rather strange and not particulary depressive.Glenn
