Dealing With Anxiety & Depression Mood
Sunday, May 18, 2008 | A Sad story
I'm really having a difficult time with the depression and anxiety.  The Wellbutrin I've been taking for the past few years doesn't seem to be working, but I keep taking it.  I've always been an anxious person by nature.  It's been really bad lately.  It started in childhood.  My dad was a very abusive man.  He physically and verbally abused my mom and he was an alcoholic.  Anyway, I pray I can get a handle on the anxiety and depression.  I seem to get in panic mode so easily.  I take Ativan for the anxiety and it does help calm me and helps me get a decent night sleep.  I just want to feel better.

    Have you asked your doctor about taking an SSRI anti-depressant. Some like paxil, effexor, lexapro are suppose to work well with GAD. I just started back on effexor because since being off my anxiety has gone through the roof. Wellbutrin isn't an SSRi so not sure how well it works for anxiety.
