Hey, I like that one about clonazepam.
Several lines of evidence seem to point to exess serotonergic neurotransmission (in certain areas of the brain) in high anxiety states, I found periacin (a multiple serotonin antagonist) to be profoundly calming. It can be a little depressing, but very calming.
I think that oftentimes when stressfull events end you can become very depressed since your cortisol drops and your HPA axis needs time to heal. Taking an SSRI might bring prompt relif from depression simply by almost mimicking the stress and mimicking previous levels of cortisol.Linkadge
