Don't give up hope!: See that you are taking valium. That is never the answer for chronic anxiety. It treats the symptoms but not the causes. One of the problems with people who have taken benzodiazepines like valium is that they get the idea that all anti-anxiety medications are supposed to have a similar effect (work really fast - abort the anxiety). When in fact, if you take a medication that actually helps to.

Trifluoperazine : When an antidepressant is. Given with trifluoperazine, most of them will raise the blood levels of trifluoperazine. This can cause a side effect of extreme inner restlessness called an akathisia. This can make it feel like your skin is crawling , your mind is restless and you feel like you have to pace. Have a cyp2d6 and a cyp3a4 enzyme test done. Low dose Luvox under dr care may help. Fanapt (iloperidone) to replace trifluoperazine.
