Sugahorse,

I totally relate to what your going through.

I too wake up in the morning full of anxiety-why did we buy this bigger house and now behind on the mortagage payments? Worried about how my son will ever repay his college loan debt? Am I a good enough mother? why am I so lazy? my husband working long hours while I'm home by 4pm, etc. I take Xanax, it helps at first but then I feel tired.
When I exercise regularly that always helps but it's hard to get started being so out of shape, I worry I will hurt myself, as I have done in the past

About the meds, I am also on Lamictal and the dose that's effective is normally 200mg which is usually increased a lot sooner than 6 months. The increase might help with your depression, also have you asked about Paxil- that can with depression and anxiety.
