MDD and anxiety are cousins they usually go together. I have both and do take Anti depression meds and lorazepam also . Included in my treatment is mindfulness and meditation. Most of my days are not filled with suicidal thoughts although the anxiety meds make you more jittery if you don’t take them on a regular schedule. My health team is great and I trust them after years of suffering. Keep searching for a medical professional you can connect with and trust. Don’t give up you are worth it .

Melissa Lynn, I also take Zoloft for depression but the anxiety is a different animal. Keep trying ok

@A MyDepressionTeam Member thanks for your input. My Dr isn’t the most understanding and doubt they’ll put me on anything other than another anti depressant. Was hoping people here were prescribed something helpful for the long journey ahead..maybe that’s just not a thing?

Sorry u r going through this. Adavan helped me when I got anxious, really did , yet my doctor and psychiatrist took me off them because of their affect down the road. So now I m always anxious . To check with down the road, I need those meds today.
Clonazepam also worked but same result.
Hope u have an understanding doctor.

i take lorazapam for my anxiety attacks, works goood for me.
