Hey,
Before I started Parnate, I was taking about 4mg/day lorazapan for several weeks. My anxiety is very physical--I literally feel an awful tightness/pain in my gut or chest when it gets bad. Fortunately, the Parnate really nailed the anxiety as well as the depression. I still have bad anxiety in the morning, so I take 1 mg with my first dose of Parnate and frequently need no more. Sometimes I get edgy at night and need another mg to sleep.
Everyone seems to be different regarding dependence. I think if you take the minimum dosage needed to aleviate your symptoms and no more, you are not very likely to become dependent.
