Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression

I was on 40mg Lexapro for 5 years until It stopped working and I was switched to Wellbutrin then to Topamax, both of which caused me to be more anxious and depressed than I have ever been. Now I am coming off of Topamax and am wondering what other options I have. I am scared to death to try any other meds in the wellbutrin and topamax family.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please understand that the medicines do not make you more anxious, but your attitude and circumstances will. You should consult a competent psychiatrist to exactly diagnose your problem. If you are not getting the result, the possibility is that you are not diagnosed properly. Secondly, anxiety disorders are treated with a combination of psychiatric drugs, psychotherapy and meditation. Please get the proper diagnosis and act according to the advise given by your psychiatrist. Working with your psychiatrist and trusting him is the proper approach for any cure.
