For the past 4 months I've been on 2 meds:
Lexapro: I quit lexapro (reaching 20mg) after 2.5 months as it seemed to not help.
Klonopin: Been taking klonopin for 4 months, 0.5mg 2xd. After 3 months my panic and anxiety returned full blown.
Lexapro again: I started Lexapro again and after 5 days i started to feel better, then the doc upped my dose to 15mg and the panic anxiety returned. After 5 days at 15mg i cut back to 10mg because things were just getting worse. I've been 4 days on 10mg and i see no improvement. Panic and anxiety throughout the whole day, I barely even have an appetite. (so total of 3 weeks on lexapro again)
I am still taking 0.5mg klonopin 2xd, even though i dont think its doing anything. Are there other meds to try? I'm so scared nothing is going to help me even though I've only tried lexapro and klonopin. If lexapro isn't working, should i try a different SSRI?
Should I consider an SNRI like Effexor?
Should I switch from Klonopin (I guess I'm tolerant, although it never completely wiped out my anxiety) to another benzo? I hear for some people this works.
Should I try Buspar?
I have an appointment with my pDoc in 4 days, but i would still like some advice.
