Depression
"My depression is weird, mostly due to tapering off of and recovering from benzodiazepine dependency. I have awful anhedonia and have been watching my life crumble in slow motion over the past year. I know I needed to do something. 

The Paxil is a stopgap solution but so far I&#039;m starting to climb my way out. I can&#039;t really attest to side effects. The worst I guess is a dry mouth and fuzzy thinking, but honestly, I&#039;ve been depressed for so long, I can&#039;t say my thinking has been that great to begin with. I was afraid it would lower my libido and I&#039;d have anorgasmia, but so far no.

My logic is thusly, I may end up losing my job because of &quot;personal problems&quot;. Won&#039;t it be nice if I can actually handle such an eventuality instead of giving up?"
