Hello,
I am going into see my pdoc tomorrow to try to tackle this fear of any big change in my life i.e. committing to travel/new job (can't stick with one as my anxiety gets in the way) or getting into a relationship.I deal with clinical depression/ocd/gad and am feeling good with my mood with lamictal, remeron and buspar(as long as I am safe) and the rituals and obsessions are all controlled with my zoloft and inositol. I do feel like my brain is always in over drive and when a big change is imminent I get anxiety and then if the anxiety gets bad enough my mood slips. I will back out of things before my mood slips as it isn't worth it to me to become heavily depressed. Therefore it is so frustrating that I can't plan a trip with someone or accept a job and keep it. What happens is if I accept to go on a trip then I will start worrying about it until it is consuming me and then the anxiety will get so bad that it isn't worth it for me to go on the trip so I will back out, apologize to the person I have let down and then end up not going on the trip.
My question is does anyone have a similar problem with travelling, jobs or relationships and what med has helped them cope with it? I want to move forward with my life and I feel like I am almost there but this anxiety is holding me back. Here is my med list that does help me greatly but just is missing something,
90 mg buspar
300 mg lamictal
5 mg zyprexa
200 mg zoloft
45 mg remeron
18 grams inositol.
10 grams EPA fish oils.
My sister has had great success with Seroquel for her anxiety but we haven't reacted to the same things so am not sure if it would work. Any thoughts or experiences would be so appreciated,
Joseph
