I suffer from anxiety and depression as well, and I used to be prescribed celexa, which is very similar to zoloft. I would wake up grouchy, and quickly become more irritated as the day brought on overwhelmingness. This is where the anxiety starts to take over. I suffered really vivid and horrifying dreams at about the 4th week of taking celexa. I spoke with my doc about it, and have since switched over to wellbutrin. It was like night and day. It really seems to be a medication that works for me. As far as the anxiety, I started on Valium, and now take Klonopin (1mg 2xday). This usually cuts the edge off. I am a full time student as well. I will admit that I find it hard to wake up in the morning because I'm groggy, and I believe it's because of a trycyclic anti-depressant that was prescribed with the wellbutrin to help me sleep better at night. It's known as Elavil, and I believe that it's an MAOI. I'm still trying to adjust to what mg of elavil is right for me. But, my point is that, anti-depressants are a trial and error type of thing. You may have to try different anti-depressants to find which works out best for you. Hope this was hopeful!
Thanks for this!
