Q: can new med prestiq make you more anxious? I've been taking it for 3 days now. Have bad anxiety

I am currently suffering tremedously from depression and anxiety so bad that it's preventing me from returning to work currently. I have a great deal of stress in my life. I have been put on Prestiq and wanted to know if this is a good medication to be on for anxiety and depression. I have been on many other meds and nothing seems to get me out of the funk I'm in and get me to a state of peace. My mind races with thoughts and sometimes it's hard to know what the thoughts are because they are jumbled with all the things that are bothering me. I am trying to move forward and get a job and I am scared to death because of the way I feel that I won't be capable of doing this in my current state of mind. I have suffered from depression most of my life and have always had great results with meds and therapy. This feels very different in intensity. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

I cannot answer your question altoghter, since I am different from you, but one day I missed taking my prestiq and I saw it was in my pill box all day, and that was one of the worst days I have had, with nearly wanting to "crawl in a hole and die" from all my anxiety that day. So, I think it is doing something right.
