If no antidepressant is helping you then maybe your anxiety is due to some other medical reason? It could something such as a nutrient deficiency, a food intolerance, some allergy, a systemic infection, a brain injury, heavy metal poisoning, etc or some genetic problem. It could also be due to lack of enough sunlight, sleep, exercise, a nutritious diet etc.

Google "anxiety due to medical conditions".

" For some people, anxiety may be linked to an underlying health issue. In some cases, anxiety signs and symptoms are the first indicators of a medical illness. If your doctor suspects your anxiety may have a medical cause, he or she may order tests to look for signs of a problem.

Examples of medical problems that can be linked to anxiety include:

Heart disease

Diabetes

Thyroid problems, such as hyperthyroidism

Respiratory disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma

Drug misuse or withdrawal

Withdrawal from alcohol, anti-anxiety medications (benzodiazepines) or other medications

Chronic pain or irritable bowel syndrome

Rare tumors that produce certain fight-or-flight hormones

Sometimes anxiety can be a side effect of certain medications.

It's possible that your anxiety may be due to an underlying medical condition if:

You don't have any blood relatives (such as a parent or sibling) with an anxiety disorder

You didn't have an anxiety disorder as a child

You don't avoid certain things or situations because of anxiety

You have a sudden occurrence of anxiety that seems unrelated to life events and you didn't have a previous history of anxiety..."

Yo< need to talk to who prescribed you the medication. You probably need to go off slowly. That is what my doctor is doing. Please do not do this without medical advice.
