Hi yxibow,
RE our other exchanges relating to GAD: I was wondering about extreme/breakthrough anxiety compared to GAD. I'm curious because I had GAD up until 2005 when I had ECT treatments (unilateral). Afterwards, I still had GAD but with the addition of sudden panic attacks that seemed to occur in the absence of the usual triggers for me.
Buspar fixed the latter symptom, but now it seems that I can't do without it for that reason. I was wondering if I'm talking the same kind of anxiety as "extreme/breakthrough" and how Xanax and Valium are working for you in that regard.
Because I'm an alcoholic, Benzos are not prescribed for me unless I'm in detox. Those have always been Librium or Ativan. I'm wondering if Valium and/or Xanax could possibly be used after detox for this anxiety, even though they're Benzos. I have no idea what theor effects are as related to Librium and Ativan, and the studies I've looked at are completely opaque to me on this subject.
Thanks again,
Reggie BoStar
