Was on clonazepam 2mg & 50mg pristiq daily. Currently on alternating pristiq 50 mg & trintellix 10mg & switched over to lorazepam 1mg. Having really bad anxiety bouts & depression reached a low up til last week. Currently waiting til april 15th to see a psychiatrist. Ive felt like this before & can think if it was around the time I switched meds too? Im more so dealing with morning anxiety & over thinking night thoughts and the BRAIN FOG!!!. When will i feel better ? Its been about 2 weeks of feeling like CRAP! im also scheduled to start work by april 18th & am hopeful i will feel like myself again before than. Help!

Hi

It certainly is common for a change in medication to increase anxiety. I am sure if you worry about it less you will start to feel better. Try not to focus on your symptoms and they will tend to reduce.

Really good luck in your new job I am sure you will do well.

Thank you so much . it gets better by the day. The brain fog & dizzyness is what gets me BUT it seems as though its declining by day & getting better.
