Which med is at fault - Anxiety Message Board

trg247 · 05-12-2006, 12:55 AM

I usually post on the depression board but I have an anxiety question. I take a number of meds which are suppose to help both the depression and anxiety. But lately I have become really jumpy, headaches,stiff neck etc. So which med is not doing his job: effexor, wellbutrin, remeron, zyprexa, lithium or trazodone. I have a severe form of major deppresive disorder and GAD which is why I take so many. Thanks for your help

what a cocktail

several psychs I know would be horrified and say you are taking far too many meds, they may well be fighting against eachother in you
your doc must have a shotgun approach or perhaps he believes everything the drug co salespeople tell him??

I have been on this combo for four months or so. It was working well for the anxiety but not very good for the depression. Problem now is the anxiety is rearing its ugly head again

perhaps take any benzo as needed

the big thing now is I don't want to have to add to the list but fix the ones I already have. With each new med I worry for the next month that it is not going to interact with the ones I am already taking
