Fluoxetine not working for anxiety, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try to broaden: your view. Meds are not always the best or only way to treat anxiety. A menal health professional can teach you some strategies to manage anxiety. Hypnosis, meditation, lifestyle changes, exercise, etc. all have research to back up their effectiveness and safety. Peace and good health. Herbert Benson's book, the Relaxation Response can help also.
