I am glad you are doing better today. You know some medications that are traditionally used for depression, are sometimes used for anxiety and OCD.

My husband takes low dose of something that others might use for depression, but he was recommended if years ago as it helps with OCD symptoms, which subsequently helps with Tourettes. Well up to the point, the rest are just strategies he uses but medication takes edge off.

His dose is very low because he is afraid he’d not be able to function at work if he was too medicated. He has not and never had depression. I had two students with OCD and they were on exact same medication

. I don’t know what your doctor prescribed but could it work for anxiety disorder even though others might use it for depression?
