I am not sure what my issue truly is. It started 4 months ago as not feeling good to feeling horrible to breakdown (depression). When I first went to Dr. he said major depression caused by anxiety. Now I have anxiety all day (worse in the morning). Xanax helps, but I am afraid to take too much. So I suffer mostly. I do not feel "depressed". Just anxious and horrible. Starts in stomach, then chest, then I feel tingly/numb all over. I do know I did not need/want any benzo until Lexapro start-up. Now I can not leave home without it.
I am scared of the Xanax only deal. I am afraid I will get addicted and never be able to quit. My GP said that the right AD should get rid of anxiety hopefully and I will not need Xanax. I hope this works.
Do you suggest I stop Lex and startup with only 25mg of Zoloft alone or maybe 5mg of Lex and 25 of Zoloft? Thanks for help.
