Hi Phillipa.
Do you think I could stay off the ADs(SSRIs) by staying on the benzos for awhile? I started 5mg of Elavil at night to help me sleep while I see if it makes any difference with the anxiety. I can't tell if using lorazepam @ .5-1mg every 2-3 days is adding to my anxiety or not. I've used them that way for about 2 months now and I don't know if that's having an impact during this or not. They work really well at calming me down. A friend of mine has used low dose Elavil for years with sleep (25mg) and says it works for him. He's in his 60's.
Thanks......Philip
