"minimal effectiveness for me.  was on 10 mg for anxiety and depression for 8 months.  had to reduce to 5 mg due to extreme fatigue and general malaise.  when my dr. asked if it was helping i said i didn&#039;t know, other than it was making me tired and emotionless (not happy, not sad).  his reply was if you don&#039;t know then it&#039;s not doing anything, good answer!  i tapered off over 2 months and withdrawal was hell.  now am only taking clonazapam for anxiety and feel much better.
tried it again for 1.5 weeks and only 5 mg (just to be sure) and had same extreme fatigue, blah blah blah feeling, and felt down and worthless.  then withdrawal effects again after only such a short period.  this drug is not for me."
