More ref anxiety and panic from Johnstown

[Johnstown]

One more thing- anyone on Zoloft- I have been on Zoloft 100mg/day for about 2 years, again with few results.  I note from the on line info that dosages of up to 200 mg/day are OK- needless to say I should explore having my dosage raised before switching from Zoloft to something else?  Also, anybody have any relief from OTC stuff like St. John's Wart, Magnessium supplements, Serydyn or others, or are these a waste of money?  Finally, as an alternative to Xanax, does Klonopin work as well as Xanax, but not as addicting and not making you "loopy" or visibly impaired, to prevent panic attacks and at onset of symptoms to ease one?  Thanks again, Johnstown!!

If you have been taking the Zoloft for two years without relief, you definitely need to be re-evaluated.  It should have helped by now.  I tried Serydyn and I have to admit it did nothing for me.  It may have helped others.  Xanax is a better PRN med than Klonopin.  Klonopin is a better drug for the prevention of the panic attacks.  When taken regularly it keeps your anxiety under control(if it works for you).  If you can feel an anxiety attack coming on and they are not very frequent Xanax may work well.  You need to discuss all the possibilities with your doctor.  You need to go over all the pros and cons.  All benzos are addicting if taken regularly enough. That does not mean they do not have a place in the treatment of anxiety.
