Hi alchemy,
Thank you for your response.
In the past I have been prescribed Seroquel for and I took it, because I was so unnerved by how I was feeling.
It worked but basically put me to sleep.Now I take ativan, which works a little, but I end up taking too much, which is not good.
thank you for your feedback about this.

> It sounds like anxiety-related prob to me. Even feelings of being what I call "zoned" (depressonalization) are anxiety related (even though I may not feel anxiety).
> Of course in some cases antidepressents may help. But because it sounds like you have "episodes", you should probably want to have xanax/a benzo on hand, even if it is in addition to an antidepressant.
> Even agitation can be helped with xanax, etc. That sounds like a horrible feeling.
> If your dr. doesn't feel comfortable prescribing xanax or another benzo, you may need to come up with some back up info.

> I don't have serious anxiety probs anymore, but my dr. still has me on long-acting xanax and I have a short-acting supply that I have on hand but rarely use. It is also used for my agitation. I have noticed I have a strange/ more depressed feeling about how sad the world & existence are when I forget my xanax.
