I want to too. I have bad anxiety. I think my med's are not working anymore. If you get another the old one's will bleed through till they are out of your system.

It might be a matter of the specific medications and dosage problems. Don't give up on the idea of medication entirely. Speak to your psychiatrist and if they have no ideas you might ask for a referral to a mood disorders specialist. There are an increasing number of options.
