> Is diazepam on the PBS? and relatively inexpensive?
Diazepam is on the PBS. Clonazepam is only PBS-subsidised for epilepsy.
> Were you prescribed the Zoloft for social anxiety?
Almost entirely for depression.
> Woah so 3mg a day would be $$$$$$$$
I'm not so sure - my pharmacist said it's only about $12-$15.
> I thought amphetamines would make you anxious?
Recreational doses (100 or 200 mg) can cause extreme anxiety/jitteriness, but in psychiatry they generally prescribe less than 60 mg a day, which mostly has a calming, focussing, motivating effect. Also, dextroamphetamine is much less anxiety-provoking than methylphenidate or mixed amphetamine salts.
> And he needs authorization from the HD?
'Fraid so - state laws say that this is needed, except for ADHD and narcolepsy.
