>I took paxil for head pressure/squeezing. Not for depression. I was already on .5mg. clonazepam per day for anxiety. I definitely know what depression is now so no, I believe I was a pretty happy camper.
When there is an anxiety issue, depression is almost certainly present under the surface. I think it's difficult for people the grasp the idea of being a "happy cammper" or "happy go luck" but still having underlying depression, just never feeling depressed. This phenomenon happens all the time. And then there is denial, which is so powerful it helps us keep the sadness and depression in check to the point of never knowing it is there.
