Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm overwhelmed. My COPD is progressing. I don't have a support system of family or friends that understands. I can't work but can't get approved for disability yet. The stress of everything is getting to be almost too much. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of anxiety meds that work for them. I can't take the SRI inhibitors as they make me crazy as soon as I take them. I can't imagine being on them for an entire month until things smooth out. Also, do you see a separate dr for anxiety/depression meds or could I have my pulmonologist prescribe while I'm at my next visit.
