Hey Ed, good to hear from you.

I have been taking varing doses of Clonazepam from 2mg a day to .5mg a day for about 18 months. I must say it WORKS and tolerance has not been an issue. Howver it has killed my libido, caused some other sexual SE and caused me to be a bit lethargic (probably all symptoms of the same thing). Also, I get this low level of depression when I take it every day for a couple of months.

I have tried ativan (artificial feel), xanax (good night), xanax xr (drowsy & limited effect) so far. Thought about giving diazapam a try but I'm not sure it will be any better than the clonazepam.

Benzos certainly come closest to making me feel "normal" and boost everthing from concentration, motivation, socialability - all at the expense of my physical energy level and sex life.

I thought about augmenting clonazepam with something like Provigil, but anything activating doesn't seem to agree with me. And my Pdoc is hesitant in precibing one med to conteract the SE of another.

Any thoughts on the Provigil?

It seems like a anticonvulsant might be the way to go. Perhaps it will enable me to cut down on the clonazepam. I thought Seroquel might do the same but I hated Abilify.

Sorry for the ramble. -Dan
