A member asked:

Anxiety disorder worsened during pregnancy. i am post partum and back on paxil, (paroxetine) clonazepam .05mg 2x daily. 20 yrs on rx. anxiety still bad- advice?

Psychotherapy: Medication alone is not optimal treatment for anxiety. See a psychologist for psychotherapy (ongoing, at least weekly) to understand and address the cause(s) of your anxiety (not just the symptom). With good psychotherapy, you may need less medication or none at all. Sometimes talk is the best medicine.
