Add nonpharmacologic: Exercise-one hour a day is great. I can be walking. In this beautiful weather it can be very relaxing. Also deep breathing is great. Nothing helps as well as talking to a friend and making plans to get together. Hope you're better soon.

Manage anxiety : By learning relaxation skills & learning to modify the thoughts, perceptions & beliefs that trigger your anxiety. Learning to calm your body & your mind is the key. You can learn these skills on your own, but having a mental health professional "coach" you is quicker & more effective. Biofeedback helps learn relaxation skills (www.Bcia.Org & www.Aapb.Org). Meds alone are not a good solution.
