Does it seem to ease the anxiety? Can you distinguish the difference
between anxiety and paranoia? It wasn't easy for me.

For me it only helps with paranoia and general schizo symptoms, doesn't
do a thing for anxiety and panic attacks. I take 600mg each night.

Carl,

I've taken 12.5 mg on some nights for sleep. Works wonders, but leaves
me really hungry , and I need to lose some weight, so watch out for
snacking before bedtime.

It would work for anxiety during the day, but leave me too sleepy.

I have yet to find anything as effective for anxiety as any benzo,
especially Clonazepam (Klonopin), though i may be forced to get off
all and any pills soon.

No idea what I will do then.

Give Seroquel a try, but watch for weight gain, and try not to take
every day if possible.

Sorry I didn't check back here until now.

By saying "general schizo symptoms" I meant paranoia as the main
symptom. As far as other symptoms there are hallucinations of different
types like visual (seeing things) , tactile (feeling things), audible
(hearing things, usually voices). I've experienced tactile
hallucinations but mostly I had paranoia. One of the things that seems
very common is that it all starts around age 18.

I'm doing OK. I just wish that people would stop telling me that the
meds I take generally lower your lifespan. :-( Only symptom is
paranoia and that isn't nearly as often as it was, not even every week
and it used to be every day, sometimes many times a day. Sometimes it
still acts up but not nearly like before treatment.
