I don't feel subjectively like I have more energy, but I am sleeping less and lasting longer, able to concentrate so something is working.

Question is, maybe I should reduce the anti-anxiety med because it is a sedative and see if the activating meds work even better. Or maybe not because those activating meds can cause anxiety and so the clonazepam is providing a balance.

I know I should ask my shrink, but curious since people here seem to know an incredible amount.
Sorry to hear, maybe ask a pharmacist about Nefazodone its an SARI AD, that works great for MDD, OCD, PTSD, anxiety and is weight neutral...good luck!
