A couple of thoughts: first, I too am on an antidepressant on the regular, and I like a few drinks, and I have a prescription for the anti-anxiety stuff too. Even very low doses of the Klonopin have a very significant effect on me. If it is a family doctor prescribing these meds I highly suggest you see someone more in tune with psychiatric pharmacology.
And, second, I've been in five-point restraints. For a week. A pretty damn traumatic week that I suppose I could say I brought upon myself by voluntarily entering a psychiatric facility to get over some other trauma. I still deal with the original trauma, and the restraint trauma, and all the flawed decisions I've made as a result. That was over a decade ago but I will say that group therapies have worked best for me to deal with my pain and confusion. Everyone responds differently, but talking and sobbing in front of strangers who feel me has been best for this gal.
Good luck, stay strong, and Cary's right - stay off of planes! Screw your boss!
