i can relate to you JustWantToBeNormal, most of the time i just feel really jumpy, anxious and nervous with those famous anxiety pains but sometimes i just become so overwhelmed i just want to cry because i feel as if theres no sign of improvement.
I have also read that Bupropion can increase anxiety but i havent noticed any huge increases or decreases since i started taking it, the only thing that ive really noticed has effected it and made the symptoms more intense was when i started tapering the zoloft and stopped the clonazepam.
Im still new and trying to get used to the whole seeking profesional help thing since i have always been the type to handle things on my own and not share my burdens or agree with medications etc etc. but im hoping to build a good relationship with my therapist and pdoc so that we can work together to find the best treatment for my ailments

do yo have any stomach problems JustWantToBeNormal? I have been diagnosed with GERD although i am not 100% sure thats what it is, i feel more that it is a side effect of my anxiety/depression since it doesnt bother me all the time or particularly after i eat but bothers me randomly and more so often when i have a lot on my mind or am nervous. I used to take zantac for it but since it didnt help any i figured that it was a mental symptom and not physical

I too think i have social phobia, but the doctors dont seem to want to listen to my ideas so much... i dont know if they think i dont know what i am talking about or if they just dont want to agree with me because they say something different or want to do it their way

hopefully they'll see that i've been trying to educate myself a great deal on these things so that i can participate fluently in my diagnosis and treatment options!

we're all in this together hang in there
