I have reduced deppresion I think, and the anxiety is still there. I am on amytripline and xanax . I am a type A worry person anyway so anxiety hits me hard .
I take them at bedtime to get some sleep . ususally seven hours . And I hate the dawn light when it comes up .
I can't take those ssri"s like you are taking . The times I tried to i had real bad side effects .
I"ve tried mediation , exercise and deep breathing at times . Still fighting it . But you have got to get better sleep . Better tell your doc if that persists, I understand ssri's take weeks to kick in .
Wish I had some of the answers , all I can do is share .
