I was pulled off Klonopin last fall by his PA who was treating me since it induced crying spells and maaajor depression. That's when I began Effexor.

I don't believe Xanax aggrevates depression like Klonopin does for me. Xanax feels cleaner. Besides, it reduces my general and social anxiety enough where I can be outgoing and assertive in classes and with peers. If I lost this ability, I'd be even morrrre depressed. I don't want my Xanax taken away.

Well, perfect mental health is required obviously. I can tell that based on my classmates and my instructors. We all seem to have issues and insecurities. I think it goes along with a more driven and perfectionist attitude that the general population. Docs/PA's/ect just eventually learn to cover it for the mostpart I think while in practice.

My depression is severe in my opinion. The last few months have been absolute hell. Yet, when you get deep enough, it's hard to find the strength to get help and talk about it. That's why I can get myself to go to a physical appointment that's already scheduled, but wouldn't want to make a separate appointment for this. I can struggle and fake my way through the rest of the summer. I wouldn't last much longer just gutting it out. Don't have the emotional energy....
