I am suffering from situational anxiety where I ve needed to take Klonopin (0.5mg) nightly for two months. I can cope, manage, and handle the anxiety during the day, but can not sleep during the evening without the aid of the anti-anxiety Rx. My physician last week prescribed Zoloft and Xanax. After two nights (two pills) of Xanax, I stopped taking and reverted back to Klonopin as Xanax heighten my anxiety. I have not taken Zoloft as I m evaluating whether I can manage without it. Any advise on the following: 1) Effectiveness of Zoloft, 2) Zoloft vs. Paxil, is one better or more effective than the other, 3) Other treatments for anti-anxiety without using SSRI Rx. Finally, who do I wean off from Klonopin. It appears I m developing a dependence on it.
