If you are not satisfied with your medication, please consult another doctor too. I strongly recommend that you seek the help of a counselor in addition to the medication you are taking. Anxiety has all to do with fear and your inability (or so you would tend to think) to handle the same. Fear is based on looking too much into the future and imagining things that usually do not tend to happen (usually 90% of your fears will not happen) and expecting too much out of yoruself. You need to change your perception of the fearful stimulus then you can change your response to the fear. The first one is the best and will preempt the need for the second. If you are already far gone into the reaction mode, then you need both responses to counter the attack. The way we see things in life (like half empty or half full glass) is very dependent on our attitude. Attitude may have developed over many years but fortunately can change in a matter of sustained choices made and acted up on now. Accordingly you choose to see things as either threatening or as an opportunity. The opportunist will be positive and work with the situation to make good out of it. The individual who sees it as threatening, will, out of fear, try to avoid/run away from the situation or react with anxiety. Yes, self-belief does impact it too, but you can see that prior to that, perception will tarnish the belief system too. Here, you can see that all the resolution lies in just changing your perception/attitude, even if it is against odds. Changing your response, despite the perception, is building up of your reserves and resources to handle any contingency that life throws up at you. And life throws up situations quite regularly and heavily. For this you need to develop a fit mind and body: the former, by meditation and mind exercises; and the later, by exercises and proper diet. You need good sleep too. Included in the development of the mind is the handling of emotions, in your case, fear. These changes will give you a handle on life and your perceptions and responses. Prayer is really powerful, if you are a spiritual person. Repeat some personally framed affirmations that are geared to calming you down and building confidence. Do a personality development course too. Anything that develops you personally will be of great assistance in building resilience. For the physical symptoms you are experiencing you could meet with a physician to determine if it is psychosomatic.

Hi lybrate-user! this does seem quite frustrating for you. I wonder if it is in your best interest to reach out for emotional support. While medication helps you control your symptoms and is very important. However, therapy would play a crucial role here to help you challenge these thoughts that lead to your symptoms in the first place and help you with tools to deal with them on a long term basis. Your therapist would help you to bring the thoughts and emotions triggering the anxiety, to your awareness and help you process them in a safe environment. You also learn to manage anxiety better and ground yourself in reality.

If your anxiety is long standing, then it may be due to some unresolved issues in your mind. If there’s any current stressful situations in your life, even that can trigger anxiety symptoms. Etizolam is anti anxiety medication. However only that may not be sufficient to get your anxiety under control. You might need an antidepressant for a short while if you have any underlying depression. For this you need to be properly evaluated by a psychiatrist. These medications are not over the counter drugs. So you won’t get them without a prescription. In the meantime you can practice some relaxation techniques and breathing exercises to help with your anxiety. Meditation may help too.
