Anxiety: If your meds that once worked, now don't, you should see your psychiatrist or prescribing doctor to discuss your problem with anxiety. Either change this medication or add another to drug to it. You may need counseling to find out why you are anxious at this young age, and learn other ways to calm yourself, or ways to treat this,problem.
