About a month or two ago doc added Wellbutrin again to combat my depression and it has helped considerably and I have been getting out of bed doing stuff watching tv. It has also probably raised my anxiety. It is anywhere from being mild to just having some financial worries when it is alright, if I'm going to lose weight, to worrying about everything whether I'm going to eat, what people at gym will think of me, do I really want to go out (again what others think of me) and a severe hole being burned in my stomach.
Most of the time klonopin saves the day. But I think I'm becoming dependent on it. In the past two weeks I think I have taken it 10 times. And a few times have been double my dose (doc ok it, if I have it severe and first dose didn't help). So after talking to her she said to quiet my inner critic (made me smile cause I just read a book about it). She said when I'm thinking what other people would think of meand along those lines of thoughts to tell it to shut up. Only problem I still have those butterflies. I'm writing this now with just thoughts in writing and the butterflies are about to burst my stomach lol.
What can I do to combat anxiety and how do I lower my intake again.

Hi boogiesmash: The Skeezyks doesn't really have any suggestions for you. In my case, I just keep doing what needs to be done... through depression, anxiety, fatigue, etc. Many years ago, my father used to say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." I take this as my mantra... Hope you find an effective way to silence your inner critic. I wish you deep peace...
