Hi AK, that is a lot to deal with at once! Med changes, increased depression and anxiety, and new dr.? Even just one of these things is tough, but combined together sounds like a really hard circumstance.

Make sure and get an appointment to discuss a plan of action with your dr., and in the meantime try to increase your coping/relaxation techniques. Have you visited our Anxiety Resource Guide (top or the main page) yet? There are some excellent links to sites that offer instructions on some breathing/relaxation exercises. If you do these everyday, you will see an improvement in your stress levels.

Take care, and let us know how you're doing soon:)

AK,

Good Morning. The first thing I want you to remember is you are not alone. I have gone through many medication changes which include starting new meds and weaning off old meds.

Many of the medications used for Anxiety/Depression can also cause you to feel anxious and/or depressed. Calling your Dr. is the right thing to do.

Remember to be your own best advocate and do not feal afraid to speak up when you make the call.

We are all here to support you.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt
