i think the important thing is dosing and avoiding drugs that can induce depression (tranxene, klonopin) and maybe also skipping over drugs that are more likely to cause dosage escalation and nasty withdawals (xanax).
Ativan's good. Valium can be very good. Serax can be good and might have an mild antidepressant effects. Librium is way old school and kind of weak, but might be helpful.
Speaking of stimulating meds...some docs combine stimulating meds w/ benzos, I guess kind of like a modern-day "goofball"...one doc's website I saw recommended provigil or wellbutrin PLUS a long-term benzo (I think he was a clonazepam fan) to really fix the probs.Good luck.
