SSRI: Talk to your doctor about alternative antidepressants, such as snri or wellbutrin (bupropion) or anxiety medications if you are still on ssri. Sometimes switching from one ssri to another might help with anxiety.

Ssri failure: After years of practice and patients I have learned medication failure of psychiatric symptoms is often the results of 4 reasons. 1 wrong diagnosis 2. Co existing drug or alcohol abuse .3 existing undiagnosed medical condition such as thyroid disease or dysautonomia 4. Genetic mismatching to medication treatments. New technologies and rapid assays in genetics can often provide acurate treatment
