Every anti-depressant(effexor, mirtazapine, prozac, wellbutrin) I have tried makes me more anxious and doesn't help the depression, well a lot of them do seem to have stimulant properties maybe that has something to do with it.

I also tried zyprexa for anxiety/depression and that made me completely apathetic and uninterested in everything I decided to stop taking it when I came to the conclusion it made me feel like someone who survived a lobotomy might feel based on what I learned that does in psychology class. Then I've had seroquel(however you spell it) which I hate just makes me irritable and frusterated. I have also been prescribed anti-histimines which just make me feel weird. I tried klonopin but had problems with that mostly it was too addictive so I ended up abusing it and crap.
As of now I am prescribed valium, which works ok
....but I end up supplementing that by herbal teas or tinctures with herbs such as valarian, lavander, chamomille, hops, passionflower and there's probably other relaxing herbs. I more use the valium for intense anxiety or panic attacks not on a daily basis.
that's a good idea , a augmenter , post medication I am now aware what is good and bad , wasn't sure about potatoes , now I am certain this is the best mood boosting food (calming) for me , in fact theirs a book called "potatoes not Prozac" seems a little extreme why not both
