Can you take a prn like vistaril? Benzos would be great, but even for a short time could be hard to get off of (depends on everyone's personal experience). I'm sure it will mostly be fine, though.

My biggest concern with house sitting is that I will be alone. It's a much longer drive than from my apartment for my bf to get to work, so he can't really stay with me on work nights. And I haven't been alone at night in months, not since my depression started getting worse.
I have benzos, but they're losing their effectiveness. I know it wasn't the best idea, but I took a whole 2mg last night to fight off a panic attack and barely felt any better.
I've been working on getting in with a new therapist and pdoc, but it's been such a slow process. Next week is my second appointment with the therapist, first was a month ago. I think after next week I can schedule an appointment with the pdoc there, but I don't expect that will be anytime soon.
