My depression is being well-managed by Lexapro, but I still have significant problems with anxiety. Klonopin helps me a lot, but my doctor says it is not a good long term solution. I, myself, am wary of taking it on a regular basis, because I heard it is a bitch to discontinue.
My doc reccomended Geodon for my anxiety, and I was wondering if anyone here had much success with this or other APs. My anxiety is typically low level, until something sets me off (usually related to my self esteem / BDD). If I have an anxiety attack, I plunge into a black panicky depression that often lasts for days. (This can be interuppted with Klonopin). I also have times of hypomania. These mood swings are probably not significant enough to be bipolar, but overall, I tend to jump back and forth without much in between.
So ... would APs work in my situation? Are they worth the side effect?
