Anxiety treatable: Anxiety is very treatable and people can enjoy a normal life. It is a process where an anxiety "regulator/antidepressant" is used to achieve that.. doctor works with patient to reach an optimal response...other meds are used as " helpers" to achieve this goal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , when combined with medication is effective for long term prevention of recurrence Feel btter

Work to feel better!: Poor you!Given the meds you're on,you're already in treatment.Sounds like your anxiety is not yet well-controlled,nor have u developed tools for coping w/panic.If not in CB therapy,try it.Given visual hallucinations,there r medicines you might try.Seek a consult w/a psychiatrist.Use a soft ice pack on forehead to avert panic attack.Take it off & on forehead until calm.Rule out medical causes!
