Hello! I too have depression, but the anxiety is new to me- at a panic level anyway. This year started rough and I started to lose control. Psych put me on Xanax to nip the attacks. Sometimes just knowing I have them is helpful. I have been on clonazepam as well and the xanax is a much faster reactor where as the other stays in your system longer. The xanax will put you to sleep too! I find coming here to vent or ask questions has been a wonderful tool for me. No one understands like those who post here. We are all different people, but so similar in how we feel. Keep posting and welcome!
