I am amazed at how many people have morning anxiety. I have also noticed a abundance of people that have Depression that gets better through the day. I was prescribed Buspirone to take 2 times a day morning and night for Anxiety. It seems to help some. Iam also on Seroquel and Mirtazapine. Iam pretty groggy the first part of the day. By evening, i. Feel pretty good.

Iam on 300 mg Seroquel, 45 mg Mirtazapine and 10 mgs of Buspirone 2 times a day morning and night. The Buspirone seems to be working for me...especially the morning dose. Be patient as it can take several weeks for it to kick in and work.
@derryman - I certainly understand how you feel. I've been taking meds for a number of things, especially for depression and anxiety. They have a profound effect on our view of life. I go through times when it appears pointless and like I'm just existing.
I know that the few things I do to reach outside my home help me with that. I was a hospice volunteer for several years, visiting patients in their homes or hospitals or wherever they were. The Hospice administration decided to draw up guidelines for volunteers' dogs, and I have a service dog, who is always with me, whom they wanted me to put through a therapy dog training. I have a service dog to tend to me, not to provide therapy to other people. The patients all loved my dog, and I trained my dogs to interact with patients, if they wanted to. Of course, every time I saw a patient the first time, I told them about my dog, and get their permission to bring her in the room or house. A few had pets in the house, so that automatically meant that my dog waited in the car if there was a shady place to park. All of that wasn't enough for the administrators. Of course, ADA regulations require that my dog has to be permitted in any place open to the public, but that doesn't seem to matter. I didn't want to stop visiting, but I wasn't really given a choice. That was hard for me to deal with because it was part of my mental health therapy, and I lost one of the few reasons to continue living.
Sorry for going on. I find myself doing that. I still visit one of the patients because I'd been seeing her for a year, and my visits mean a lot to her. Sometimes, knowing that I have a therapy session coming up is what keeps me going. One other thing that helps me is playing the piano for a Sunday night service at church.
Have you had interests in the past that you enjoyed?
I'm sorry you're at such a low place. I know it's really a miserable place. I hope you are able to get some help.
