> Do you think a different Benzo might be less depressing? I'm tapering down off the Klonopin because all it seems to do above my current dose is make me more depressed.Probably yes. Just like the antidepressants are different and unique from each other, the benzos are too. The best bet for anti-anxiety without inducing depression, and maybe even helping depression, is xanax.
> I've tried Stablon and Ixel in the past, so that's no big deal. I also tried Geodon and Seroquel in the low dose. I don't know if low dose Solian would be the same type of approach as low dose Seroquel. Might be worth a try..Low dose solian is very different than seroquel or geodon. The latter two hit a variety of receptors in various parts of the brain, and act as antagonists at both pre and post synaptic receptors. Solian low dose only hits dopamine D2 and D3 receptors in the mesolimbic part of the brain, and it only hits the pre-synaptic ones, causing a release of more dopamine.

> Does Solian cause binge eating like many of the other atypicals tend to do? Did you ever get any EPS symptoms from the Zyprexa?Any dose of solian rarely causes binge eating or weight gain in clinical studies. I lost weight on it. I think the binge eating comes from blocking serotonin and histimine receptors, which solian doesn't do. And yes, I did get EPS from zyprexa. Though the dose was low, 5mg, I guess it was the time, 8 years, that did it. Plus it was with prozac, and prozac is turning out to be guilty in that respect also.
