Xanax is one of those medicines which help in relieving anxiety and depression, but this medicine should only be used for small duration as this is habit forming drug and sometimes the withdrawal symptoms can be more depressing. The withdrawal from this medicine is a slow and gradual process rather than abrupt. Xanax works by slowing down the nervous system and hence relieves anxiety. The best way to get over anxiety and depression is to take a break from your regular schedule, go out, and take good sleep. This helps in clearing the mind and try consulting a specialist who can suggest you as how you can get over your problem.

I agree with the poster that said you should tell your psych. After all this is your life you are dealing with.

Im also on 150mg of VEnlafaxine..which is generic effexor and 150mg Budopropin...which is generic wellbutrin....

Hang in there

I just have to add my 2 cents. When I finally got up the nerve to go to a shrink and tell him about my life. He gave me prozac and told me I probably should not drink. The bill for his services stunned me and the prozac made me want to crawl out of my skin. After a phone call for help, he gave me valium. Never again for me. I just don't do well on meds. Of course, until today I also ignored his advice. I'm scared to death of caving in again. Thanks to everyone enduring my self pity pats. And I hope I can be of help to others also. xxxx g

I completely agree with Savon....I am taking antidepressants (Prozac for the depression and Clonozepam or Klonopin for anxiety and panic. I have not taken Topiramate but I do know that the Prozac is easy to combine with lots of other different types of medications. If you told your therapist about this, the first sensation you should feel is pride for taking the first step in the right direction. If you'd feel uncomfortable because you've been hiding this from your therapist, maybe wording will help you....Like "I think i'm moving in the right direction with your help and because of that I feel like I can finally admit this out loud to another person....." He/she may be able to change your current medication to one that is compatible with Topirimate. All the best of luck to you!

I don't have much idea about the experience of the anti-depressant drugs but there are some side effects which are normally felt by everyone, like dizziness, nausea, lethergy, headaches to name but a few. But it really works well and I have been taking it since a while and giving me relief from all the depression.

Hi Violinmama,

I am on deloxetine and have been drinking. And going to try Baclofen as it should be relatively ok with duloxetine. With meds, do research and read what's here, too and talk to you doc. Possibly already said what others have adviced you, just wanted to know that here's another on duloxetine. And it really works for me despite the booze I have consumed. I am curious to see how much of it I need when I finally wean myself of drink.

Yours,
