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.
Has anyone experienced anxiety disorder and low mood and had success with this?

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.

PS, Were you diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder? That might change the type of medication you're thinking about.
