Take time to enjoy: Don't be impatient. Take pleasure in the relief you've gotten. How many years did you suffer? Let the success have it's day! Also, no one really expected an anti-depressant to resolve anxiety - it may, but may not. Anti-anxiety drugs do that short term. They are not good long term tho - for that CBT therapy and skills are needed.
