Being back to having a career instead of a job is a nice feeling - though that isnt responsible for my improvement, rather, it was the improvement that allowed me to make the step up.
I plan on keeping on my meds for quite a while (despite my doctor askig me about discontinuing Xanax every time i see him) because they have given me my life back
The Edronax controls the depression, the Xanax manages the anxiety, and the low dose risperidone helps both but in a different way.
The Zoloft does nothing for me, but it seems that an SSRI is part of the protocil for anxiety/panic, so i just take it to make my doctor happy.
Maybe in siz months I'll trynand stop the Xanax, and just keep a pill in my wallet for emergencies, or maybe I'll decide that taking a benzo is a price I'm happy to pay to maintain this level of functioning.
I'll try and drop in once a week and see how everybody is doing.
