Hopefully you have something good in hand right now.
Lyrica dropped my anxiety level to zero, but if neurontin makes you feel loopy, I'd skip it then. It's a newer, souped-up version of neurontin.
I like xanax XR. It creates way less ups and downs and isn't as stupifying for me.
I've tried other benzos, and in my experience, each one affected me differently. Klonopin was a depressant ultimately; however it saw me through the worst because it worked very 'deep' for me. Librium gave me restless legs and zip relief. After experimenting, it was xanax xr that worked best with
regular xanax as back up emergency.I have started to introduce some supplements. My doctor felt gaba was an issue, so I also take 500 GABA 2xdaily, taurine 1000 2xdaily, and dl-phenylaline 500mg daily, krill oil, 2000mg daily (for
now). This was her otc script for me while I stabilize (hopefully) off AD's and do a norco taper. I take 1.5mg of Xanax xr like clockwork (3x0.5mg) and w/o my usual guilt for now. I haven't needed to pull out the emergency regular xanax for awhile.
Will you tell us what you try next?Best,

Everything except the Krill Oil and the dl-phenylalanine are cheap. The Krill oil is out of sight. I think if you aren't doing
any fish oil, an economical clean cod oil is worth trying. I know it's the rage right now, but I think it's slowly helping me.How's your sleep these days?
