I was taken off my klonopin that I had taken 1mg bid for 4 years for depression and anxiety. This happened when I went into treatment center for ambien addiction. I guess I need to be off all these type of meds because I have stimulated my 'addiction gene'.
But my depression and anxiety are back full blown because I am home again and all the stressors are back. I am on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and Lexapro 20mg in am, Lamictal 100mg in am and pm and Remeron 30mg at bedtime. The remeron seems to help the sleep. But none of these help anxiety. He told me I could take Seroquel 50mg as needed but it does nothing and I hate taking an antipsychotic. I thought I would do great when I was in the hospital, but being in the real world is totally another story.
My suicidal thoughts are coming back and I am afraid. I do not see new psych until end of Feb.
Any ideas that I could suggest to doctor who treated me in hospital?? I feel like I am in a worse place than I went in but I do not want to go back to using harmful stuff.
