Here's my situation. 3 months ago my wife got pregnant (planned), I quit drinking (excessive drinking) and I started getting insomnia and feeling stress. Doctor prescribed me Ambien to sleep which I must use now or else will not sleep at all. I have also been prescribed 3 different antidepressants supposedly to help my anxiety, yet I had to quit them all within 10 days of use because they INCREASED my anxiety to the point of mania. I think I have a phobia of taking these kinds of mind-affecting pills. Should they be prescribing me antidepressants for anxiety in the first place? Pyschiatrist says I have depression. I've tried Zoloft (severe anxiety - quit after 3 days), Remeron (zombie - anxious - quit after 1 day), and Welbutrin XL (lasted 10 days then became anxious when it was increased from 150mg to 300mg.) I switched to 150 SR version of generic Welbutrin but quit after one day because of anxiety left over from previous attempt. Should I give up on them or try more?
