sjb, has your pdoc prescribed any xanax/klonopin for the anxiety? I know you are dealing with depression, but a benzo may help calm you down while you are waiting for results from the mood stabilizer. I just started Lamictal two days ago. I am also on 25 mg of Paxil CR and use Xanax about 2 to 3x a day. It really helps calm me down. I tend to get really agitated and then will end up crying if the anxiety really takes over.
If your doc won't give you a benzo, what about trying something homeopathic,like Calms Forte? Or, are you able to take some time off work?
I hope that you are feeling better soon.
