Nothing working: You may need help figuring out why meditation isn't helping. Perhaps you're not allowing the relaxation response to happen. Check out this web site: http://www.Relaxationresponse.Org/steps. If you think you're doing it correctly but it still isn't helping seek out someone who teaches meditation. Yoga and tai chi are also meditative and may help. Taking medication long term isn't a good solution.
