Hi Pedagogue, thanks for replying. When I was talking about Serzone killing people, I meant that it did it by causing liver failure. I've been prescribed 3 different meds (not all antidepressants) that have since been pulled of the shelf for this kind of thing. My point there was that I don't really trust drug companies and I've simply had enough "bad". I don't need any more problems. I need some type of relief soon. Any slight improvement would be good. My post was too long, What I really wanted to know, if anyone has experience with coming off Xanax and clonazepam and which withdrawl is easier to handle. Also, I was considering Zoloft or Lexapro. I had taken celexa before and didn't notice any discomfort taking it-but noticed it in my mood when it stopped. However-the main thing is that it didn't do anything for my depression. Maybe I needed a higher dose. But I gained weight on it. And I'm already 50-60 pounds overweight. The Xanax isn't even working now. Does clonazepam for severe anxiety does it stop that can't breathe feeling without taking handfuls of it a day? Thanks again.
Oh, also, I read lots about being put on clonzepam is the thing to do to get off xanax-the shrink at the time recommended it, but then my GP who I've been seeing for years-he knows all my history said he would not put me on a long acting benzo. This GP has experience in addiction. So with a psychiatrist telling me clonazepam and my GP warning me against it-you can see how that would add to my confusion. Just one more question (sorry) I've heard of people detoxing off Xanax in hospital. I assume that's in the US. I live in Canada, in BC and I don't think they do that here. Does anyone know?
