Hi, my pdoc sent me home with a list of benzodiazepines and ADs to research: xanax, ativan, clonozepine, and prozac, paxil and zoloft. I'm mostly interested in the clonozepine, since I've tried Xanax (completely useless) and respond badly to ADs.

Some background info: I'm bipolar, adhd, and recovering bulimic, and stopped all meds ~3 weeks ago.

Besides Lamictal, no meds have ever really helped me. Benzodiazepines (xanax and vistiril) make me feel extremely useless and depressed. Which is the same way I feel when I can't control my anxiety anyhow.

Is there anything that won't make me lethargic? The only thing that works for my anxiety is alcohol, which is probably a bad idea.
