Agnes---I know exactly what you are going thru. Six months after I was diagnosed with PD, I really "hit bottom". I had terrible episodes of overwhelming anxiety alternating with depression. My Dr. {a motion specialist} was extremely understanding, explained that anxiety and depression accompany the PD and he put me on Zoloft. As far as I am concerned it has done more for me than the specific PD drugs and I take it religiously. I did NOT want to "admit defeat" and take a drug for depression but it is cheaper that the trip I made to the ER in a full-blown anxiety attack. So my advice would be to talk to your Dr. and perhaps he can recommend something. Good luck and keep us posted.
