New here struggling with anxiety.

[Overcomer59]

I have struggled with depression for 20 years but generally controlled it with generic Paxil. It quit working so Wellbutrin was added then got suicidal. Started pristiq and have now been switched to 30mg cymbalta and 15mg buspirone twice a day. Also was told to take methylfolate 15mg. Now I struggle with anxiety especially in the morning. When it is bad I take 0.5mg Ativan but it is still bad. Any hope for me?

Overcomer59, I am not a doctor but it seems to me that you are being over medicated

which can end up making you more anxious and feeling like there must be something

seriously wrong if you need all these meds. Since medication is not the answer but only

a bridge for a short time while you find other methods or tools to get you through your

issues, it might help to see a therapist. Of course there is hope for all of us who struggle with mental health. It's a

matter of finding the right drug and right dose. Even as to the time of day you take it

can play a big part in how it works for you.

Is the doctor prescribing your meds a psychiatrist? xx
