"i took klonopin and paxil for 15 years to treat my anxiety disorder.  i had to detox from the klonopin this past spring.  i got off the klonopin and switched my paxil to lexapro (sex side effect issue).  i am also a recovering alcoholic.  my doctor did not want me on benzo&#039;s anymore (says it increased alcohol cravings).  i stayed on lexapro only for 9 months, but my anxiety came back strong on just the lexapro alone.  i almost resorted to taking xanax before i switched doctors. my new doc gave zyprexa a chance. i am on my 7th day and i haven&#039;t felt this &quot;normal&quot; in 5 years.  i take 5mgs at night and it has ended the &quot;chatter&quot; in my head, and removed my anxiety.  great medicine so far."
