I see two therapists: one for CBT and the anxieties and another just for general issues. They're both helpful and great people.
I have been suspicious that some of my meds could be causing anxiety or making it worse. I am on:
Rexulti 2.0 mg
Wellbutrin XR 300 mg (150 twice per day)
Lamictal 300?
Klonopin .5 prn up to three per day

My new pdoc just put me on BuSpar 5 mg three times per day.

I work hard to get well, Meditation, support group, church, coloring therapy, devotionals, support prayer partner, drink water, good sleep, CBT work, mood tracking, yoga, walking, supplements, journaling, getting out of the house.

I am just overwhelmed with this anxiety.

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can give.
You are doing everything you can; hopefully the meds will help you soon. I know that many people say BuSpar doesn't help them, but my daughter has an anxiety disorder and BuSpar has been a miracle for her.
Thanks for this!
