Sorry about not responding to your thready yet kat, I'll get there :)

I suggested Xanax because there is (some) evidence that it has a mild antidepressant effect, which none of the other benzodiazepines do.

i agree that mirtazapine is more sedating at lower doses, but the anti anxiety effect is mediated via the 5HT2A receptor, where as the sedation is mediatedthrough the histamine receptor, so not sure that its more anxiolytic at lower doses, that said, starting at 15 and increase to 30 only if requried is a good plan - the lowest effective dose is the correct one!

Anyway, we can all agree all of the time!

Viva le difference!
