Going to doc in an hour, have already been on anti-depressants for a year and not as bad as I used to be but I still have bad days a couple of times a week and a really bad day or two occasionally. How do I get him to give me benzos for use as needed?
Have you tried psychotherapy?

Its so much better for you in terms of efficacy and patient outcomes than most psych meds. Psych meds should only be used alongside talk therapy. You need to retrain your brain so you can eventually wean off the meds.

Talk therapy is a meme and I should've mentioned for me its mostly anxiety and OCD and depression resulting from these things rather than depression itself.

I'm not having an argument with you, I'm just giving you the facts. Its up to you to make sure you get talk therapy, which is objectively more effective in terms of patient outcomes than medication.
