Cheers for the response , I'm feeling pretty weird right now.
I understand that often people are too unwell to undertake psycotherapy, and drug treatment needs to be administered. This is true especially for major depression when the patient is likely to be on an antidepressant. However in my case because there are several diagnoses and I'm on clonazepam, it is hard to work out what symptoms are being caused by the root of the problem. I see my pdoc when I'm on 4mg and he diagnoses me as having major depressive disorder, then once I've dropped to 2mg I'm displaying a whole new set of symptoms such as depersonalization and paranoia. Its like my personality is totally defined by the medication.
The psychotherapist I'm going to see who works closely with my pdoc thinks its better for me to be clean from all medication when I go into therapy. I can see his point, the clonazepam does mute my emotions and therefore if I stay on it we won't have much to work with. Regards
