Stimulant med augmentation-so axious

[Mares73]

Hi there I suffer from PTSD, depression and bad anxiety. I have been on all types of meds-now taking an SNRI,a antipsychotic, benzodiazepines, sleeping tablets and have just started a stimulant to auent other meds. I'm going out of my mind with anxiety, feel so stuck. Can't function normally in any way due to anxiety. Does the anxiety gradually get better as you adjust to the stimulant medication? Desperately need hope.

dear Mares, can you have a look at this site which I googled 'benzodiazepines and anxiety disorders', there are interesting pages on there.

With all of these meds it's no wonder you are anxious, hoping that all of them would kick in and start working.

It all depends on the levels of medication you are taking, but I would also like to say that once we have depression anxiety can always be there, but as to what level it is all depends on the situation.

I still get anxious, but whether this is from my OCD is debatable. L Geoff. x
