I have depression and anxiety. I started getting depressed at the start of 2011 I believe, but have had social anxiety all my life. I have been on Lamotrigine for depression for about 2 years now, and about a year ago I told my dr I was having issues with anxiety other than social anxiety. He put me on citolopram and only last week I realized that lamotrigine can cause anxiety! I am seeing my dr on Monday so I plan to bring it up to see what he says.
I find I have periods of time where my depression takes over more and its the cause of my issues because I have low energy, lay on the couch and feel like crying all day etc. But then other times, I feel highly anxious like for example almost a week where I was so anxious constantly no matter what I was doing, out or at home. I do think my depression causes a lot of my anxiety, but like I said I do have social anxiety so that's a big part of it.
