When anxiety meds stop working what else can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapy and counseling are your best options. You need to identify stressors and modulate ways to combat them. Medicines are usually only a short term solution - especially benzodiazepines such as xanax, (alprazolam) they are rarely the correct answer.
