I used to have anxiety all day long, too, for over a decade. At one point, I was on 4 different medications a day. Gradually, however, I started relying more on anti-depressants and an occasional Klonopin.
Just a side note: today, I went to work and to the shops afterwards without having taken any Rivotril and was just fine.
I must admit to being concerned when you first mentioned trying an anti-psych med, as I'd previously had a terrible experience myself. But it goes to show that we're all unique in the way we're affected. This class of med seems to either really help people or the complete polar opposite
Well done for persevering, Ana
