Meds and more..: See your prescribing MD to discuss your meds. Suggest you see an experienced mental health therapist to get support and learn coping strategies to cut anxiety. Also important that all medical causes for anxiety (eg, heart or thyroid problems, diabetes, asthma, drug abuse or withdrawal) have been ruled out. Anxiety is treatable. Great that you reached out here for help! Hope this helps.

Don't give up: There are multiple medication options like benzodiazepines and ssri's as well as duals like venlafaxine among others endorsed by controled studies. Your doctor might recommend some options. At the same time there are some cognitive behavioral approaches also helpful. Don't give up.
