Anxiety getting worse

When I was 16 I started having anxiety for no reason, I'm 26 now and still struggle with it daily and for the past 10 years I've been on every medicine you can imagine and nothing has worked. No doctor or myself has been able to find any sort of trigger it just happens all of a sudden and I can't control it. Has anyone else had this issue? Any medicines that you can suggest that I try? I have been on Zoloft, wellbutrin, Risperdal, Depakote, Effexor, Lexapro, celexa, and am currently taking 3 Xanax a day and NOTHING seems to help. All suggestions are welcome.

I have been through all types of counseling and therapy and nothing seems to help. I'm not a big fan of medicine at all but something HAS to give, 10 years is long enough I feel like I have tried everything and am getting nowhere :( it's very frustrating

I'd suggest cognitive behavioral therapy. Get a good psychologist.
I'm not a big fan of Benzos. In my opinion they can trigger anxiety attacks.
   3 x per day. Wow. Your psychiatrist may need to get you into another medicine eventually. Have an honest discussion.
  Group therapy thru NAMI is free.  A member in my group just had magnetic treatments. He's a vet so got a reduced price.  Another is considering EVC.
