Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Counseling.: Truth be told, counseling/psychotherapy would be BETTER than medications in the long run for the treatment of anxiety. Medications suppress the anxiety, but counseling instructs you as to how to conquer and control it. Much better.
