Have you tried hormone analysis and a good nutritional supplement regimen?

If the brain is not getting good nutrition, the meds are just trying to mask the problem.

Have you checked out the drug interaction info for your drugs. Trazadone and Zoloft are listed as highly problematic. Xanax and trazadone are listed as moderately problematic. Xanax and Zoloft were listed as minor interactions.

Is your neuropsychologist prescribing these?

Or a GP?

I am of the firm belief that only a psychiatrist should be prescribing these powerful drugs. Once they have been established at effective, maybe a non-psychiatrist can renew them. I found an alarming difference in how the different medical specialties understand psychotropic drugs.

My psychiatrist was a specialist with the symptoms I was having. The first psychiatrist, upon understanding my symptoms, referred me to the second psychiatrist, who was excellent, until he retired.

I take max dose paroxetine (Paxil) for both the anxiety and depression. My primary issue is the anxiety.
