==================================================
Spike,I have used Elavil for a mixed generalized anxiety/ mild to moderate depressive disorder, with the anxiety being the prominant disorder.
I also use .5mg Xanax to .75mg Xanax per day.
Xanax has a double therapy punch. It helps keep the anxiety symptoms minimized as well as helping keep my inner ear disorder calmed down.I have used Elavil in the dosage range of
40mg-80mg. per day.I have nothing against the daily use of a benzodiazepine if need be, but if a person can do well just on an antidepressant, my opinion is that a person will be better of in the long run without chronic use of a benzodiazepine due to the dependency issue. I for one wish I could have done without a benzodiazepine, but I accept the regiment I'm using, and do the best I can.
