Hi there everyone
I joined this site recently as we don;t have anything where I live (S. Africa), so it has been really useful to find this.
Around 15 years I was originally diagnosed with GAD and depression.
The reason I joined the site was as a result of yet another anxiety episode that lasted almost the entire length of the Festive Season. I had a sore throat which would not get better, and despite 2 GP consults which confirmed it was just an infection, I was convinced it was something sinister.
Of course I thought that as soon as I was past it, everything would get back to normal and how wrong I was! What followed has become what I can only describe as a very "grey" time. Most of the time I battle to find anything positive, despite having a good job, a settled family and not much in the way of financial problems.
I have had my dosage of Molipaxin (Trazodone) upped from 50mg a day to 100mg, with little sign of change (about 10 days into the new dosage).
I'd really like to hear from anyone who either has the same history (anxiety which follows depression) and/or someone who is taking the meds I am.
Thanks for reading
