Don't give up on medication, it is often trial and error as to what will work best for us, but once we find the right one....it can give us our life back!  You need to really fight back, and talk to your doctor about alternative medications along with therapy.  You have a life to live, don't allow this to hold you hostage.  There is so much help, please take advantage of it so you can have a happy life again!  Take care.

I would strongly recommend that you find a therapist or counselor to talk with. They can give you tools to cope with your debilitating anxiety. Medication alone doesn't always help but there are things you can do in addition to the medication that can help. Don't give up hope. There is help out there but you need to reach out for it!
