Helping me with my depression/anxiety?

Hey guys.

I'm currently on pristiq 50mg which I've been on since Jaunary and prior I was on Cymbalta (30mg then 60mg). The reason why I switch to Cymbalta to Pristiq is that I used to get upset and angry all the time while when I'm on the meds and when I was off the meds I used to get scared and fear of death. I'm currently on pristiq and within the last 2 weeks, I feel like everything is a challenge for me, I get angry and worked up fairly quickly and I've notice its getting worse. I was on lexapro a while back and they used to make me angry as well. I find it a living hell to live on meds but at the same time don't know if I can cope without them. I've lost all hope and about to give up, what should I do, I'm very desperate.

It also causing me to have no enjoyment out of anything anymore.

    Hey, im a depressive anxiety with elements of ocd. Ive found a good mix with venlafaxine and quatiapine and intermittent diazapam or xanax for bad anxiety. Beclareful with the xanax(alprozolam) and diazapam as it is highly addictive. Stay away from paroxatine or lithium very nasty, both of them and fluoxitine did nothing for me. Good luck hun
