Thanks,
It's actually better now. I think it was having been on the Lamictal. I didn't realize it was doing anything but when I stopped it the anxiety jumped way up higher than before. It's coming back down to its regular level now. (Which just means I wake up scared in the mornings and feel better within about 6-8 hours).
