chat to your shrink.

If your suffering from the negatives have you tried an ssri? It could be underlying depression that is killing your motivation…an ssri may help!

mate…had a gran mal coming off of xanax but it’s a tough cop…I know I’ve said different but give them a go…they are addictive and it’s important to take as needed and not rely on them but hey…you need to get better so I’m all for that!

Let us know how you go!

I asked my psychiatrist if I could lower my medications.
She said no.

well I’m glad you are checking with your pdoc first before lowering your meds…sounds like you are already on a very low dosage? maybe upping the med might be better.

I’m on 8mg of it. I’m up for anything to get rid of paranoia.
