Anxiety Support Group

Do any of you have or had continuous all day, everyday anxiety for months or more? My anxiety is so bad everyday all day it is ruining my life. I literally shake most of the day and can’t stop my mind racing. I’m getting so weak and tired from the meds and the lack of wanting to leave the house. I don't sleep well but all I want to do is just lay down in fear.
I’ve been on numerous SSRIs over the years which clearly helped the anxiety but weren’t working for my depression. Then they diagnosed me as bipolar and I had lithium with a few others along the way that I’ve stopped taking, including the lithium, because of the side effects. Now I’m on Mirtazapine for the depression and Seroquel. The Seroquel was for the anxiety but it is not helping my anxiety at all and is making me really dopey, dizzy, and drugged out in the day.
I’m terrified of anything and everything and I don’t know what to do. I don’t see the pdoc till Thursday and lately all the meds they try are making me too messed up and not helping my depression or anxiety. I’m really getting ready to give up on this life. I don’t know how much more freaking out I can take.
I’m hoping I can take the Mirtazapine and go back on something like Effexor for the anxiety.
What do most of you take for your anxiety?
I need help.
