Ive tried sertraline /fluoxetine/venlafaxine for my anxiety and nothing works not even cbt whats the best anti anxiety i can take? what can i do?

Anxiety help: There is no "best" medication for anxiety because different medications work for different people. It does take 4 to 6 weeks for meds like sertraline to take full effect at a particular dose; sometimes people stop their medications too soon, before they've had a chance to work. There are other medications for anxiety; I would discuss with your doctor. Yoga & meditation/guided imagery help anxiety.
