I have had MDD recurrent and panic/anxiety issues for several years. Lately the depression and anxiety have worsened d/t issues over which I have no control (family problems). I am on venlafaxine XR 150 mg daily and lorazepam 1 mg twice daily. Been on that combination for 2 1/2 years. Prior to that on Lexapro 20 mg daily w/ the lorazepam. It pooped out in 2013.
The anxiety is so much worse today. It feels like ants crawling under my skin. It's bad. Spent the whole weekend crying b/c MIL (88) fell and I wasn't there. She is okay, but her sons & daughter have to make a decision soon. I can't keep on doing as I have been doing for 5-6 years. I'm stinking falling apart. I tried to set boundaries as the therapist said and that just blew up in my face.
Any comments would be appreciated. I am old to some of you (55) but whatever you all have to say I will be thankful. I think I need some meds changed, added, increased. Something. Thanks for listening.
