My dr. proscribed me vistiril for anxiety but not working. what should i do?

Anxiety: There are several other anti anxiety medications which act at different areas in the brain. Ativan and Xanax (alprazolam) are a few of these. You might discuss with your doctor changing medications.

Talk to doctor: If not done already the first step is to discuss further with the prescribing provider. There are other options that may be made available including medication or behavioral therapy. Ensuring good communication with a provider is important for achieving treatment outcomes and clarifying treatment expectations.
