Hi!
I recently moved to Cleveland and have found that there is a bias in the medical community against the use of benzodiazapines. In the past I have taken an antidepressant in combination with either Xanax or Klonopin. Paxil "pooped out" on me shortly after our move here. Now my doctor is convinced that the Effexor XR 300mg should be enough to take care of it all. He wants me off the Klonopin as soon as possible. I saw another psychiatrist and she told me the same thing that she will not prescribe Xanax or Klonopin. I have had anxiety and depression since 1989. I am not new at this. I know what works for me. I am also concerned that the Effexor is not the right med. It seems to make me more edgy not less. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Cleveland area who is open to the use of Xanax or Klonopin for anxiety? And who would also be able to help me with deciding if Effexor is the best med for me. Thank you.
Your friend,
Jenn
