One of the side effects that I experienced while on Amaryl (a diabetes med) was low blood sugars in the afternoon. (Glucose <60 mg/dL).
Without this med, my glucose never drops below 70 mg/dL. One of the symptoms I experienced was somewhat irritation and anxiety combined. I wonder if you might have been experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia?
As far as the anxiety meds...my physician kept telling me that he had some meds for me if my anxiety level became intolerable. Last October, I tried Paxil for a few days, and by day 4 I discovered a whole new meaning to what "anxiety" was. I went off of it and I just work through the occasional periods of anxiety that I now feel--but those periods are becoming more rare all the time.
