My dx is anxiety/ocd (pure O), and I have had panic attacks. My mind races a lot so some type of bipolar is a possibility. I worry so much. Right now I am on no meds and it has been up and down. Recently, things have gotten worse and I cannot break the pattern of worry and sleep has gone down hill.

I cannot take ssris as they cause a 10 fold anxiety increase but I have only tried luvox and paxil. I used to take tranzene but after 10 years it started causing depression. I tried klonopin and xanax and I felt terrible and the washout caused a huge jump in anxiety. Seroquel caused akathisia, pure hell that was. So, I am looking at other options and lyrica seems to be one people here have discussed. If my anxiety and rumination stop I can sleep.

After taking Lunesta I would wake up after 6 hours abruptly and it actually made me anxious. The taste wasn't that big of thing but I would rather take care of the anxiety and hope the sleep issues improve. I was thinking of possibly a low dose TCA and may even consider anafranil for the ocd. I am just med sensitive.
