Anxiety and Depression

[DeeWants2LaughAgain]

Hi everyone. I have been struggling with A and D for three years. I am having a hard time working or getting a job. I am a retired teacher. I left with severe anxiety and now have fears of getting job. I am on pristiq Seroquil Gabapentin and propranolol and nothing seems to work. I sweat profusely and babk aches eyes burn. I’ve tried almost every med and been to residential twice. I just want to enjoy life again. Has anyone tried Zoloft or Prozac? Any other suggestions? My husband is at Witt’s end

Hi , I’m SalamancaJoe , nice to meet you. I suffer the same A&D I got nothing for you now, but, will help you when I can. Be patient

I tried zoloft, or its generic Sertraline, it leveled me out for a few years, hope it works for you. Maybe you can teach remotely, or tutor on an individual basis, that might be less stressful, hope everything works out!

It sounds like you need someone to take a serious look at your medication regime as it sounds as though it is not doing the job. Also do you meet with a therapist or take part in some CBT or EBT groups ? You need to find things that you enjoy on your own to keep busy. I know this sounds simplistic but it is not easy. I have found that returning to church has also helped me. One day at a time as the saying goes. Be well ❤️
