Hi, This is my first time joining an online support group. I was officially diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression in October (but have struggled with it all my life) and I am currently being treated by a psychiatrist. I take the antidepressant Exeffor (175mg p/day) and take Trazodone (100 mg) to help me sleep.
