Disappointments: Many people are disappointed by the effects of drugs given them for anxiety symptom relief. You might try another type and or some CBT therapy to learn skills to manage anxiety and understand it. It's not unusual - be patient - you'll find help and if you work at it, you'll master anxiety.
