Hey, I just wrote a note to you Sam, but posted as no message!
I concur with Morgan about the klonopin. It is a depressive. I started xanax years ago and have been unable to do without some form of benzo since. (However, seems to help me.) Before the xanax, when I was younger before a back injury, I used to run and found that to be the best med around for anxiety. I don't mean to diminish any anxiety issues you may have--you and (well, maybe) your doc know best.
I find the responses your question has generated to be interesting and moving. I find meds help me function, interact, do therapy constructively, be a more present and loving mother and friend. Happiness, well, it's been awhile since I've really been able to laugh like I once did. I'd like more (simple) pleasure and passion. I think I miss the laughter most of all.
enough. I'll stop here. Best wishes!
Candace
