I agree with Alan that you should see a psychopharmacologist (and BTW I like this term; it seems as though it may help people feel more comfortable talking to others about it than saying they are seeing a psychiatrist). Go and relay your college experience, but don't automatically expect Valium, even though you have had difficulty with SSRI's before. There are other meds for anxiety and depression that don't exactly work like SSRI's and therefore may not give you the zombie feeling. Almost certainly the doc will want to explore those options before Valium. Some of those options are Effexor, Remeron, Serzone, Buspar and zyprexa. good luck.
