Just ask!: Tell him/her exactly what you just posted. While benzodiazepines are useful, they are also very addicting. Work w/your psychiatrist to find medication for which benefit >> risk. Perhaps you just need higher dose of zoloft (sertraline). Btw, you're already taking clonazepam, so you already have a benzo in your system. Also, you're taking percocet, so beware that narcotics are very addicting, too.

Talk to them: Let your psychiatrist know what has been happening. They will know what to do and either adjust your current medication or make a change according to what they think is the right approach.
