In reply to looking for a novel or off label drug for anxiety, posted by cactus on July 6, 2008, at 15:27:46
> I'm wondering if anyone has tried anything or found relief from a drug for anxiety/panic/stress. I'd like to try something totally different. Please, NO SSRI/SNRI's, TCA's, AP's, MAOI's, DA's, Mood stablizers or benzo's. Opiates are out too.
>
> Does anyone out there have any other options, suggestions or ideas. I'm rather desperate as I've had a major relapse and my doc has put my clonazepam back up to 6mg daily. No depression has presented as yet but I know if I don't stop this now it will spiral out of control very quickly.
>
> Please help, I'm open to anything except the above which I have tried most of over the last 15 or so years. Tianeptine?(spelling) is not available here and my doctor has asked me to stop my modafinil for now until things calm down.
>
> She also asked me if I had any ideas, she is very open minded and willing to let me try different things.How about atarax or hydroxyzine. Old but used for detox from benzos and still used for anxiety.
