Are you sure that one of them isn't Xanax, or another benzodiazepine anti-anxiety? These can be used with anti-depressants. The benzodiazepines are habit-forming, though.


One thing you can do is exercise - it's known to help people improve both mentally and physically. As little as a brisk 1/2 hour walk can work wonders.

Feel better!



They do actually prescribe two anti-depressants at once sometimes. I know lots of people who are on two. Some people are on three. My mother takes prozac and wellbutrin and I take prozac and elavil at the same time. I live in Canada, so it's not some country that has stupid doctors either so yes doctors do prescribe 2 anti-depressants. It says not to mix anti-depressants with each other but doctors still do it. Benzo's are highly addictive. You can die from benzodiazepene withdrawal, and have seizures and other horrible problems. So do not get addicted to benzo's! I have a script for Valium (diazepam) and Dalmane (flurazepam) and i don't take them more than twice a month because i am so afraid of becoming dependant to them.
