I (F45) am now 2 years into taking SSRIs. I have been diagnosed with MADD and ADHD. At first I found the meds very helpful because It actually allowed me to have breathing space in my mind. It quieted the chaos down a bit to allow me to stop and think rather than just react to things. 

But I have found that I am more anxious now because even though I have this benefit from the medication, the coping skills that I have used in the last 43 years are no longer working. Although I am working with a great therapist, it is slow going because I am still working on trauma that I have suppressed in the last 15 years. 

Has anyone else had this issue? Also, does anyone have any advice on what to read up on to help with this?  I have tried the general searches on google but have yet to find something that I have yet to try. I want to continue working in gaining new coping skills but I am at a loss at the moment.
