Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

I also got fired from my primary care physician ; he wanted nothing to do with a complex case involving anxiety disorders. This was after he yelled at me for taking my blood pressure since it is all over the place and stated a real zinger as I was concerned with the length of time taking a benzodiazepine and just inquiring of other options. He definitely stated that they are not addictive. Just take higher doses of the Benzodiazepine.

To @jschwing
My primary care doctor fired me also. She prescribed very large quantities of benzos and never followed up with me nor did she tell me they were addictive. I guess you read my response as my Effexor debacle.

Claudia are you saying that you no longer have a healthcare provider or prescriber? You must retain someone there if it has to be the PRN then so be it. You can't get completely cut off. I cannot say what is happening to you in your condition but it sounds like everything you share indicates central nervous system disregulation and cutting cold turkey the benzodiazepine you had been taking which is completely wrong and contraindicated for coming off of any benzodiazepine. I am not telling you what to do that is your decision. However, if things are daily and nightly unbearable perhaps reinstating is an option to possibly relief some of the current distressful condition I don't know. I do know that staying connected with a new primary care doctor and your PNP is necessary somehow. I'm praying for you and all of us who suffer always 🙏💜
