Consider options: If you have only been taking the medication, and have not been working with psychological means to control your anxiety, consider working with a psychologist to develop more effective coping skills to deal with the anxiety issues. Also, there is often a diminishing effect with long term use of anxiolytic medications. Talk with your doctor about other medical possibilities.
