Hello and welcome!
We are glad you've joined us, though sorry to hear of your current challenges and comcerns.
You are indeed going through a lot! Relationship conflicts are huge trigger for my anxiety as well...so I do know how you are feeling!
As far as your Rx question goes, yes, a med increase can cause increased symptoms similar to a start up...where things seem to get worse before better. Hang in there and give it some time for the therapeutic effects to begin.
Does your counselor work specifically with you on anxiety management? If not, hopefully this is something you can add into your sessions.
For now, please see the link below for our Resources.
