Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

Although medication is helpful in decreasing symptoms of anxiety, it is not a cure. Lifestyle changes and other behavioral changes, such as adding exercise to your daily routine, can also help to decrease anxiety symptoms. Using methods such as deep breathing techniques and meditation can also help.

Additionally, many people find that cognitive behavioral therapy and talk therapy can help in developing strategies for managing anxiety symptoms.

As you can see, medication is only one part of your treatment. It is important to work with your doctor in developing a comprehensive treatment plan and understand your anxiety triggers and develop strategies to cope.

I hope this helps.
