Severe anxiety - help

Posted by jms600 on May 4, 2004, at 17:12:11

Hello everyone,
Just started a new job, and my anxiety has gone from bad to worse. My main symptoms are GAD and social phobia.
My doctor has started me on 50mg Amisulpride twice per day - but its just not working. Been on it for a week now. I am constantly crying, nervous, worried and really uncomfortable at work. My appetite has vanished too.
I have been taking Valium, but I seem to have grown quite tolerant to it, so I want to avoid benzodiazepines where possible. I am also on Prozac 20mg per day (just come down from 40mg as it was exacerbating my anxiety).
Any suggestions for medication to try (non-benzo)?
Yhanks!
