Not really. I have been on meds for twenty years and never had anxiety until about 3 or 4 years ago. It started slowly and kept getting worse. I have been on three or four med combos since it started. I don't think it has anything to do with my meds. I can't explain it though. It could be situational stuff, but it seems like always in the past I could deal with a lot of stress without anxiety. I have been through the wringer enough times without getting anxiety. I think it is getting older and somehow depression and anxiety go hand in hand. There are some theories about things getting worse when you get older. Both have gotten much worse in recent years. It all started happening the same time the construction economy totally crashed in CA. And I mean bad and it still hasn't recovered after 8 years. I had never been laid off before then. So it probably has a whole lot to do with employment and unemployment and financial issues.
