Is the Parnate dosage increase and Xanax helping at all?
I think that many people with mood disorders have a distorted view of what real emotions feel like sometimes. After remission, if we feel any periods of transitory depression or anxiety it may freak us out a little. We may worry that it's more than temporary and will start deteriating any progress we may have made.
But, you have to remember even "normal" people have temporary periods of lowered mood and anxiety to extreme stressful events in their lives. If you're on an antidepressant or antianxiety medication it makes sense that there would be a breakthrough from time to time to stressful events.
Hope that helps :)
