I hope you don't react to Parnate adversely. As Jono suggested, any activation or "jumpiness" that Parnate might produce early in treatment can disappear. However, with your history of reactions to psychotropics, there are no guarantees.
Thinking outside the box just a bit, you might profit from a mood stabilizer, especially if there is any bipolarity involved in your condition. The three drugs that come to mind as anxiolytics are:
1. Depakote (valproate)
2. Trileptal (oxcarbazepine)
3. Topamax (topiramate)I am particularly impressed with how well some people respond to Trileptal as an antimanic or anxiolytic during benzodiazepine withdrawal.
