In reply to Benzos do not have any effect on me. . ., posted by DiscoPuppy on August 26, 2007, at 2:15:12
Do you have any Klonopin 1mg tablets left over from your last prescription? If you do, could you try a higher dose, say 2-4mg just once, to see if it had any effect? How long did you take them for? Benzos can induce anesthesia, so there will be some dose has some effect on your anxiety. Have you tried Ativan?
BuSpar is the main non-benzo anxiolytic aside from the SSRIs of course. Atypical antipsychotics are sometimes used as anxiolytics, but they should really be a last-ditch effort because of the bad-*ss side effects like diabetes, obesity and movement disorders. I'd encourage you to thoroughly exhaust the benzo/antidepressant options before settling for that type of medication. Nardil is widely regarded as the most effective of the anxiolytic antidepressants. It can be very hard to get a pdoc to prescribe it.
