Different doctors approach medication management in different ways. It might be helpful to express to your doctor that you wish to try a different medication (if that is what you actually want). There are a number of SSRI and other medications to help treat anxiety. Many patients also benefit from the inclusion of therapy alongside treatment with medications.
