Good topic MG
I, too, was having anxiety attacks daily or more than daily. My doctor put me on Paxil, and when I had too many side effects, she tried Wellbutran (Spelling?), and that one was better but dragged me out. So she gave me a different prescription to use on a "as needed" basis called Apo-lorazopam and that one worked fine. The prescription was for 60 tablets and I have taken about 30 in a 10 month period.
During this same time I have been working my program and got to a place where I am not as stressed or depressed, and I also have started taking hormones for menopause, and I think that those factors helped me more than the prescription.
I think that the most important thing here is to be honest with your doctor and to communicate any effects, good or bad.
It is a personal thing, and each of us knows when the anxiety/depression becomes too much to handle, or when they become a frequent thing, not just an occasional problem.
But I would recommend to anyone who has either of these to talk to your doctor.
