[quote=Anonymous]Medication helped me far more than therapy has for my general anxiety and depression. I disagree with the PP above about a psychiatrist only being necessary if you have a "serious" mental health issue. I've found the guidance that my psychiatrist has given me in finding the right antidepressant to be invaluable. Therapy has been helpful in developing coping skills, but I wasn't able to get the most out of therapy until I was helped by medication. The first time I went on medication the combo that worked for me was Zoloft, klonipin and trazodone. Trazodone is an old school antidepressant that in low doses is an awesome sleep aid. Sleeplessness and panic attacks while asleep was a big problem for me and 1/2 a klonipin and a trazodone before bed made all the difference. Just being able to get some sleep in those couple of weeks while we waited for the Zoloft to kick in was so helpful. [/quote]
