Depressed and Scared

It's been awhile since I've posted here I know...
I've been having it rough for over a week now. My IBS (diarrhea) has come back on me and I'm feeling very depressed and somewhat anxy. I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and had to come off of zoloft after 12 years as it seemed to poop out. I am now on paxil cr 75mg (max dose for my problem) and have been on it for 8-9 months. It really seemed to help the GAD, which is my main reason for being on it. BUt now I just feel bad all over, physically and mentally. I don't know what to do. I guess if things don't shape up soon, I'll have to go back to shrink. I'm always nervous about that as I never know who I'll see or what they'll say. If they have to mess with the meds, it's always a whole new ballgame of IF it'll work, etc.
I went to regular doc and he said my IBS was cuz of stress. My mom broke her ankle almost 5 weeks ago and I've been doing most stuff. However, she's been taking a LOT more of the responsibilities back, so I dunno if dealing with her has had anything to do with this or not.
I'm stumped. I hate life being like this.

PS- My depression seems to lessen later at night...then starts over the next day.

Dear Janet,
I will have the same kind of episode of which you speak. My bad times will always show up in the morning. Today was one of those days but I took the step and reached out for help as I knew if I did not, I would just feel bad all day. You have done the same
I am wondering if perhaps your Mother needing less care is making you feel less needed?
I too get nervous going to the therapist as I don't know how to explain my feelings sometimes. I did see my P-doc yesterday and she felt I was fine.............and stay on current meds.
Feeling bad physically may be kicking in your depression. I am a very poor patient. Can you pamper yourself for a few days?
If you need to see you physician for a med switch you will be able to deal with that. I know you have before. You have my support.
Many hugs for you.
