Now i'm so anxious I feel I want cry only feeling so depressed I feel that life is so boring and I don't want to any thing, watching tv or scroll in the phone I feel that I only make my family tired and ill because of me I don't want to look at their faces and I don't want to study. Right now my sister will star work for the first time this sunday I don't know if feel like this again because of my sister or because the period should come in 2 of december I don't know what is happening and I don't want to live in fear forever but this out of control i'm not feeling good I don't want to be a burden to my family I don't know if I should go to the doctor to change the medicine. I'm going to turn 23 this month.

Dear lybrate-user, welcome to lybrate. General anxiety disorder treatment consists of cognitive behavioral therapy, life style changes, relaxation therapy and meditation. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety yourself with the help of the above treatment methods, you will be cured and you can stop the medicines if any. The process could take some time according to the depth of the problem and the circumstances at which the patient lives. Take care.

You are taking these medicines under supervision of an expert so there is no such reason to worry. If you feel any of the symptoms you have mentioned above , then tell your doctor immediately so that he can adjust the dosage. People take medicines to manage their physical conditions like diabetes, heart problems etc. The important point is taking medicines under supervision . You can also start Psychotherapy and learn to manage your anxiety symptoms to a great extent.
