> I suspected OCD because you made mention of searching on medical web sites (I think). It is typical for those who are obsessing on their health to compulsively check medical information on the web. You do not have to have compulsions or rituals to have OCD. Some people just have obsessions or thoughts they can't get out out of their head that kind of torture them. BUT it doesn't sound like you have these kinds of obsessions, so your anxiety is more likely GAD in nature.

Fortunately, I have a loving husband, a good job/supportive co-workers, and fantastic family/friends. But I've suffered quite a few losses in addition to the IBD diagnosis. And we just sold our house/moved to an apartment (which was insanely stressful), but all of this had started before that happened. I do think I'm experiencing more anxiety/stress now than I was when I first started meds years ago. So you are probably right. Do you think I should increase my dosage?
