I've rec3ntly posted twice-going through major agitated depression and benzo withdrawal(don't tell me to stay on benzos,they depress me terribly, at least diazepam and lorazepam both have, and lorazepam gave me myoclonus as do some a/ds.Bizarre but apparently documented.I am now down to 6 mg diazepam,cutting 1 mg per fortnight.I think i will leave offf the SAM-e in case it is exacerbating things-but the 100mg of trimipramine helpsme sleep but is not touching the depression.I can't stand much more, I have bad ME and have to rest a lot which allows me much too much time to ruminate.But I am semmi-suicidal at present.Could this be withdrawal depression-in which case will it respond to antidepressants or do I have to wait until I'm offf the diaam.Life is just trying to exist through each day,but no morer, and i am losing hope.Pleas offer hope/encouragement/ideas,i'm getting desparate.I do have a very supportive doctor, and am at least listened to Thanks
