anyone have Generalized Anxiety Disorder? what are you doing for it? what kind of symptoms and anxiety issues do you have? I'm looking for people who have things in common with me. I need fellow GAD people to talk to. Im on Lexapro for the second time. I hope it starts to work or something soon. I had to call off my wedding cause of anxiety bout my fiance. I dont know what is real sometimes. If its me really freaking out or if life is really bad. then its my depression talking if its really bad.... hm..ok well thanks.

You're in the right place for support. Hang in there, life will get better. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder, depression, OCD. I lived through the panic attacks - wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. Do you take anything other than Lexapro? Xanax helps me during really tough anxiety times, but it is addicting and you have to be careful. Keep reaching out to people on this board. They have been through it all. Good luck. You are in my prayers.

I suffer from GAD/social anxiety/depression/ADD. I am trying out Effexor. It is helping with the anxiety. My symptoms are/were being anxious and freaking out under stress. Good luck to you all. =)
