I have this problem too. It is a common side effect. Antidepressants are no more effective for depression than placebo, recent research shows, which made me very angry to find out after all the hell I went thru. Google Kirsch antidepressants and Ioannidis antidepressants. Another interesting article summarizing Ioannidis’ findings is “how to set the bullsh** filter when the bullsh** is thick.” It isn’t only psychiatry that is having major problems with over treatment.

Anyway, anxiety is better fixed with therapy. My home mental health worker thinks the Lucinda Bassett program is excellent. You can get it used on ebay, but be sure the seller includes the workbooks, is my understanding.

I went thru 15 years off hell getting med treatment for bipolar, and most of the pills made me much worse, or just didn’t work at all, but there were side effects.

I think biological psychiatry is a scam. John Ioannidis is a biostatistician, which math is one of my degrees, and I buy what he is saying. He is a superstar in the medical research field. His reputation is not being attacked because he is pointing out flaws in all medical fields.

Also, Robert Whitaker is an award winning medical journalist who used to be director of publications at Harvard Medical School, and he wrote an excellent book called Anatomy of an Epidemic. The premise of this book is that people get medications for mild to moderate mental problems, and though the drugs may or may not help in the short term, in the LONG term, people become more and more disabled by the changes these drugs make to the brain over time. What he is writing certainly dovetails with my and my brother’s experience, and his extremely in depth analysis of deceptive use of statistics is very much like what I did in my stats classes.
