Will anti depressants and anti psychotic really help you with anxiety?

I've been taking my meds for a couple of months now but my anxiety always comes back. Sometimes I wonder if it really does help or not?

I'm on these meds also.

It doesn't take it all away. I still have times I get anxious.

But it's a lot less than I used to.

I will say when my anti psychotic dose was higher I had more anxiety. Now that it's been lowered it's lessened.
