I suffer from social anxiety and general anxiety, but also low mood (lethargy, low motivation, overwhelm, ADHD type symptoms).
I think this could help me, but I'm worried about it worsening anxiety symptoms.

Which medication?
Hi, amy!
I'm not sure but I'm guessing you're asking about an antidepressant/anxiolytic medication. What was prescribed for you or what do you need information about?
It's true that a few people will experience some new or increased anxiety/depression when first starting the medication but these side effects generally resolve within days to a week or two and usually lessen as each day goes by.
Personally, I never let my anxiety talk me out of giving it a try... and I'm very glad I didn't let it!
Best regards and good luck.
