Re: I think I found the culprit to my anxiety

I can't say I'm surprised. You are on quite a drug overload. Each one may have a purpose but together can interact badly. Plus, the stress on your liver to process it all And each doctor adds to the mix. As has been said, you need a manager for all of this
But don't stop any drug abruptly on your own. That could cause more problems. Get someone to work with you on a schedule
Sadly, when we are at our lowest state is sometimes when we most need to be our own advocate. When we are dealing with unfamiliar situations. It would help so much if you could enlist someone to work with you in this capacity
It will get better YOU will get better. Keep the faith
