People who take them may also experience a temporary period of increased anxiety. Consequently, about a third of patients stop taking antidepressants for anxiety disorders before completing the initial phase of therapy. A combination of a benzodiazepine and an antidepressant is sometimes used to avoid the initial anxiety symptoms and to hasten control of panic symptoms. The benzodiazepine can then be withdrawn and the antidepressant, with its negligible chance for long-term abuse, is continued."

That's funny, but not particularly civil. If Dr. Bob ever comes back to lay out a set of principles of civil communication for posting on his site, you will understand why I said that.How are you doing these days?
I am okay. Just okay. I am still waiting for "magic" to happen on a more steady basis. I get the magic every few days, and I know the trend is towards further improvement, but I am not well enough to feel certain about achieving full remission. From what I understand, it can take a full year of minocycline treatment to show robust improvements in depression. If I can reach a 50% improvement relative to my unmedicated baseline, I think I can go back to work and rejoin society.
It is frustrating.
