Depression and anxiety are the worst...........I have been on anti-depressans for over 17 years now.....switching every 2 years because my system got used to the same one and no longer did any good.

Once you are diagnosed...............you really should stay on your meds because of the medical imbalance..........it will always be there.

Even at some of my simpliest jobs..........I had felt anxious, tons of anxiety, the same as you............I could never relax at any of the easier ones.

There are lots of anti-depressants that are also anxiety help as well, you can check them out by googling anti-depressants.

They all have side effects, some you may never have,

I have found that exercise does relax me, so I walk at least 30 minutes per day and try and eat healthy...........and there are tons of foods that can help with depression.

Even before I go to bed, I must be totally relaxed or I cannot sleep, often leading to not sleeping well, which in turn, losing sleep makes you even more depressed............so try and get at least a good 7-8 hours per night.

It is the toughest thing I have had to fight with, I cannot make plans to go out usually until that day arrives.............it all depends on how I feel!

I have cancelled many a family outing because of my nerves.

Give these new pills at least 4, if you feel like they are not doing you any good, ask for the dosage to be increased and so on.

I call this disease fighting the dragon.
