Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Central's Anxiety Community.

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice. I would suggest that you talk with your doctor about what you are experiencing. Anxiety is often treated with anti-depressant medication however, your doctor may suggest a different medication or dosage if what you are taking is not working.

There are many different strategies for helping to reduce stress or lower anxiety. Your doctor will be able to help you determine what would be best for you. You might also want to ask about working with a therapist on stress-reducing strategies.
