my pdoc has decided to stop all my antidepressants. he now has me on what he tells me is an extremely low dose of leponex plus a larger dose of alprozolam to control anxiety, which he believes is the precursor to depression. i am feeling dreadful. dont know if its still withdrawals from antidepressants or side effects of leponex. has anyone (not schizophrenic) ever been rxd leponex for anxiety? and if so, what about side effects? i am desperate. physically psychologically and emotionally. a wreck. feel like i am dying but not quite getting there. dark and dismal and despondent. please share your experience if you have a similar one. my thanks. blessings and comfort to all fellow sufferers.
