What to do when no amt of medication & tens of different specialists, are all ineffective in properly treating severe, debilitating gad?feel helpless!

Try psychotherapy: You do not mention what meds you have tried, or what treatments. If you are using a TENS unit, are you having chronic pain? - this complicates treatment of anxiety. Have you tried cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) from an experienced psychologist? This can be more effective than medications for anxiety. Good luck!
