Your doctor hasn't tried you with Ativan, Klonopin, or Xanax? They're benzoes. If you don't know about drugs and their actions and anything about what your doctor has tried, I'd let your doctor do the prescribing; "experimenting" with drugs gets you addicted and medically as well as mentally ill. Not every drug is a good idea for younger people, your brain is still trying to develop and putting the wrong drug in at the wrong time can mess you up for life! I wouldn't trust a "friend" to mess with my health/life like that just because he's trying hard to wreck his own.
