Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

Thank you so much for your response. I currently am not on any medication. My last provider said she would no longer treat me if what she prescribed (Zoloft and Gabapentin) did not work for me. Well, they didn’t. I had weird brain/head sensations from one of them. I was also prescribed Buspar from another provider but I was allergic to it. I just retried Effexor 37.5 xr, but it just increased my anxiety. It has been a repeat cycle of going on a drug and a few days later, coming off of it due to intolerable side effects. I feel pretty hopeless. I have been reluctant to take Ativan which has been prescribed by my PCP for my anxiety as I know I will wind up taking too many, so I am suffering with no relief in sight. I have a very stressful situation at home as my husband has Parkinson’s Disease and instead of me taking care of him, he has to take care of me.

I feel for you. I am in the same boat and I even had the genesight testing done. We have tried 2 of the meds that were in the green but could not do the side effects. Before that I had tried so many. I do take Clonazepam 1/2 pill twice a day for anxiety right now. I have lots of health issues and that causes the depression/anxiety because I have yet to find the right treatment plans. It really is a horrible place to be in. Hope you find something to help soon.
