I have tried 40+ meds for my anxiety with no success and I'm questioning whether docs have been correct in diagnosing me with GAD (and some PTSD). Does the following sound like GAD?

I have noticed that my anxiety can fluctuate drastically over the course of even an hour. Here's an example:

• For hours I will be lying in my bed panicking because I was am overwhelmed about all that I have to do and depressed about how I'm failing at school and work.
• Out of nowhere, I will feel a little lighter and like I can do some little task so I'll get out of bed and decide to get pizza.
• As I'm walking to the pizzeria, I'll again be hit by unbearable anxiety, like I can't keep going on and need to lie down on the ground in a ball.
• This will last for, say, 30 minutes and I'll suddenly feel lighter while I'm eating so I'll decide to do something, like wash the floors. I'll do that for a little bit (30 min/1 hour) and then the anxiety is back and I can't go on. I have to lie down.
• Several hours of being in bed, paralyzed by anxiety and I'll suddenly feel lighter. I'll successfully do something for 30 min or 1 hour before I'm crippled by anxiety again and so on...

In short, my anxiety randomly goes from unbearably high to a lower (still high, but slightly functional) level. It cycles like that all day, just going up and down, up and down, up and down.

Does anyone experience this with GAD or does it sound like something else?

I'm sorry you're having this problem. Are you willing to go to a new pdoc to be re-evaluated and to run by them what you described here?
