Thanks, Maxime,
I know I'm still on a pretty big dose of benzos but two weeks ago I was taking mg a day. It will take me a while to taper. I plan next week to lower the Klonopin to 1mg per day and keep the Valium at 10 mg. I'll do that for a week and see how the anxiety level is. I can't stop the benzos, maybe not ever completely. If I don't take them, Ihave to live with this feeling of horrible physical fear in the pit of my stomach and in my chest. Who knows, though- maybe as the Nardil kicks in more, the anxiety will lessen more. It's still a wait and see game.
