I have been completely med free for the past 6-7 months. I just started seeing a new pdoc about a week ago and he has me starting back up on Parnate. Priority #1 is to deal with the depression. I'm not going to push him on the benzo topic, but if he does eventually suggest this, I will specifically ask for Xanax.
As depressed as I have been since coming off of meds, I am really reluctant to go back on them. I have never given therapy a fair shot, so I am going to make clear to this pdoc that while I am willing to go back on Parnate temporarily to help jump start my recovery, the main reason I am seeing him is for talk therapy. With proper therapy, proper diet (which is going to take some work), exercise, supplements (vitamin-B, etc.) and sun-light, I'm hoping that I won't need to be on meds permanently.
