These are good questions. I only get a racing mind when I am put on antidepressants. I do obsess over things. ( ie: this!) I do have major anxiety as well.

Your doc may be onto something with you. Maybe he or she thinks that you have a mood disorder but can't tell like me if the AD is causing the racing thoughts. Antidepressants can have that effect on some people. If the lamictal (anti-epileptic) works for you better than the Zoloft, then either AD's are inducing your racing thoughts or you may have a mood disorder. It sounds like your doc is trying to figure this out.

best of luck!
