She asked me if I was sure my depression was situational, and when I said I am certain about it she said to call her if I start feeling more depressed. She also said it's okay for me to go down to 37.5 Effexor XR every other day for one month, then off it completely for two weeks and then see her again (in six weeks.)
We talked more about anxiety and sensory defensiveness than depression. She told me to wear ear plugs to filter out the sounds that get to me. I don't think that'll work in class as I won't be able to hear the instructor, but maybe during in class tests. I take clonazepam before class as it is to get me through it. She said my social anxiety is linked to my sensory defensiveness, that makes total sense (pun intended.)
