"i&#039;m on a very low dose -- 5mg/day -- but have had success until recently. i have never had any side effects or ever felt &quot;drugged&quot;.  it just reduced my anxiety and tendency toward agoraphobia. recently the agoraphobia has been winning so i have contacted my doctor to either raise my dose or try a different medication.  i just can&#039;t get myself out the door;  it&#039;s like walking to the end of a high diving board. stress and panic increases as i get to the end, then the horrible fall like i&#039;m having a heart attack.  finally floating in the water i am actually fine, and even enjoy myself.
