Hi,
If you are having to take a benzo I recommend taking the longer lasting half-life clonazepam. Ativan is quick in and quick out which can cause a feeling of intense relief and then drop you right back to anxiety.

I've suffered with anxiety and depression all my life. The combo that has worked for me is low dose Effexor and Neurontin. I always hesitate to "tell" what meds have worked for me because it is so different for each person. It would make it much easier if the meds worked the SAME for each person!
Take care,
Okie
