Those of you that have BP and/or GAD, I am curious what anti anxiety medications you have had experience with.

I currently take Latuda 100mg, Lamotrigine 300mg and Seroquel 100mg at night for sleep. I had been on some kind of antidepressant since '05 (Lexapro, then Cymbalta, Trintellix for a short stint and then back on Cymbalta). Everytime we made a change was because the current antidepressant seemed to stop working. I spent a good part of this past summer feeling pretty good...maybe a bit hypomanic per my pdoc. Once I slipped back into a depressive state back in mid-July, my pdoc decided to take me off Cympalta. I have since gone into a deeper depression and I sleep at least 10 hours/day. I started to feel some anxiety creep in so I called my pdoc to see if she would prescribe an anti anxiety med to help pull me through this but she wouldn't and wanted to see me face to face first. That appt. is scheduled for this coming Monday.

I hear lots of you on these forums mention that they work well and can help get you moving again but I also hear some of you mention the hell you go through when you stop taking them. I most certainly have an addictive personality so I am playing very cautiously here. Any and all comments are welcome.
