> It's not a question of trying it the hard way, I've never had any antidepressant give me any benefit whatsoever (and I've tried virtually every one, after Emsam I really can't think of anything else to try (and I suspect the Emsam will just increase my anxiety). I've been on clonazepam (just 1 to 1.5 mg/day) for nearly 6 years and I really don't know if it does anything, but at least it doesn't have the side effects most AD's do. I save the prn Xanax for particularly stressful occasions like doctor's visits (terrifying to me). It's the only psychotropic drug (besides sleeping pills) that I've ever felt had any benefit, and it certainly doesn't eliminate the anxiety, just lowers it a notch. But I can't even really understand the concept of AD's, frankly, I can't imagine what it would feel like to not be depressed. Cecilia

I have tried heaps of AD's too, to no avail but benzo's seem to work for me. If I feel like I'm sliding back into another depression I just up my dose of Valium and it seems to keep it in check, it's just weird how differently we all react. I hate this ride I want to get off.
