Scott, it's not like I don't won't to give you support, but the anxiety I've felt when depressed is different. Reading over your previous post, all I could think was "the poor guy" & I have no suggestions or ideas.
I'm sure there's more of us that feel that way - how empathise with you but have nothing to offer otherwise. I wouldn't have a clue what to term it either. Sorry.

I did have music and random disorganized thoughts Zooming around my head, but I had also skipped a dose of Klonpin the night before and chalked it up to rebound anxiety. So this morning I took .5mg of Klonopin and 75mg of Effexor and had my cup of coffee, and went about my merry way. Then out of nowhere I remembered a comment my doctor had dropped about Klonopin. He said it was anti-potentcy with regard to sexual functioning. This began to worry me a great deal, and while I was physically involved in other projects and with other peopl, my mind was spinning an anxious web and I started thinking my sexual perfromance might be negatively impacted, and was there another drug that I could take instead of Klonopin to treat mild dysphoric mania or anxiety (I'm not really sure which it is!)
