Thank you for responding. I agree with you. In my experience, doctors tend to be very reserved about mentioning adverse side effects when prescribing medications and then have little advice to offer when it comes to managing any which occur. I am going to make an appointment with my GP, who is as helpful as a generalist can be, and also have an appointment with my excellent Psychological therapist, who is usually most supportive and gives me excellent advice about managing my long term , chronic Anxiety and Depression problems. I may also try to get another opinion from a psychiatrist before starting to take yet another medication, to make sure I'm not going into things blindly, The idea of managing my condition purely by using yoga, mindfulness etc. is, unfortunately, not possible in my case, as my issues derive from childhood (genetic and traumatic events) leading me to develop B.P.D. and generalized anxiety disorder.

I have tried it but had to discontinue as it wasn't helping me sleep at all.

It's very different from SSRIs. It raises noradrenaline, I believe, instead of serotonin. And also works on melatonin. That, however, in my case had no effect on insomnia.

Unless you have insomnia, I would recommend you try bupropion instead, which also works on norepinephrine but also dopamine. Minimal withdrawal effects as well if it doesn't work out.

If you think it might worsen your anxiety, google '3 Myths About Bupropion' and read the article.
