Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Someone suggested a dietary supplement called samE, It's clinically shown to support and promote mood and emotional well-being. Benifits are more likely evident after 7-14 days. So I've started that today, also going to get back into a workout routine, start eating more healthy. I feel positive but as you know with anxiety and depression it's a day by day situation. I'll keep you guys updated on the samE, if it works for me ya'll can try it too!
If you find yourself having a psychotic episode, go back on some level of dose. For me I was able to quit wellbutrin by halving my dose every few months. Well, every six months ish.
I had come off antidepressants (citalopram) cold turkey a couple of years before this, without realising the effect it has, and spent nearly a year off my nut with depression, anxiety and probably some level of psychosis. I was certainly terrified, paranoid, severely depressed and borderline hysterical with it.
