Hello Jenn,
You mentioned that in the past you've taken an antidepressant with either Klonopin or Xanax. Perhaps you could have your previous doctor (the one who prescribed the antidepressants + Klonopin + Xanax) speak with your new doctors in Cleveland. Having your previous doctor talk with your new doctors could allay the concerns the new doctors have about prescribing restricted drugs.
My experience has been that once a new doctor gets to know you and trust you, they'll be more flexible about prescribing restricted medications.Your new doctors must surely be aware of the dangers of stopping benzodiazapines abruptly. Even if they aren't thrilled about your taking a benzo, won't they at least give you enough to help you taper off the benzo slowly?
