The maddening thing about mental illness is that people respond differently to treatments and you have to try them to know if they will work.

It sounds like he needs med adjustments, or try different ones. I used to be on lorazepam and it caused rebound anxiety so I am now on Klonopin which is a much longer acting benzo.

Lately, my anxiety has decreased noticibly but is still pretty bad and the only change is that I am on Gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy. That drug seems to have a much better affect on my anxiety than any benzo.

SSRI's like Prozac do nothing for me, either do SNRI's but I have read that SNRI's often work better than SSRI, but they have an annoying habit of giving you brain zaps.

Just because things worked or didn't work for me doesn't mean anything for your husband. I would discuss with his pdoc about changing up meds since what he is on is not working.

Good luck. I hope he can find some relief.
