Hi Zoey 73,
I have to agree with Barbara Cat on this. The illness is not your fault. As for the pdocs and benzos, please remember one important rule, there are two things doctors no nothing about - addiction and nutrition. I had a bad abuse problem with Valium in the early 80s but I now take 0.5 of Klonopin (just makes me sleepy-no euphoria) and Ambien. Ambien is a good sleep aid but only lasts 4 hours.
If the Effexor is doing the job stick with it. I will be restarting Prozac next week (I have been through most of the ADs), Prozac was the only thing that ever gave me relief. I also take Depakote and Lamictal.
Keep posting, reading, and asking questions - you will find more answers here than anywhere else.
Best wishes,
Geezer
