"initially i started on citalopram 20 mg once a day. it was great for anxiety and my depression but i had no sex drive at all. my doctor changed me to effexor 75 mg once a day for long term and was taking lorazepam 1mg as needed. my anxiety was not controlled. i had to take my lorazepam up to 3 times a day. spoke to my doctor and i stayed on the effexor but he switched me over to clonazepam 1 mg twice daily as needed. lorazepam has a short life but clonazepam stays in your system way longer. ever since i started on the clonazepam i feel so much better. there are days i only take 1mg at night and that&#039;s all i need."
