For anyone curious.
Emsam is down to half patch daily, to be left on 24/7. I miss taking the full dose.
I'm experimenting with applying it at night so it kicks in by the a.m.
15mgs Valium in 5mg increments starting about two hours before bed. It's not the bomb, and I suspect it blurs my vision. I had this once before with Lyrica. Don't ask me why. Gaba something perhaps.
Xanax is gone. Amazing. Valium at night lasts all day. It's a mixed blessing. I suspect that if a sleep solution is found, I could cut back to even 5mg Valium nightly, and all other things working, that would be enough buffer from panic. The Valium isn't a whoopee sensation, but it is not nearly as depressing on my system as klonopin.

Have you tried a TCA? They're the bomb when it comes to anxiety and come with none of the hassle of benzodiazapines.
Gabitril is another agent worth trying.

Hi P.
