Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

I've had depression and anxiety nearly my whole life and the only medication that really changed my anxiety is Atavan. I've been on buspar, clonazepam along with several different antidepressants.
When I was younger(in my 20s) I got into the wrong hands and been put on Adderall and even Ritalin to drown out the anxiety! Didn't work, it was awful.
I distinctly remember the instant miracle it felt like when I started Atavan.
I could function. I could sleep better. It made therapy and trauma work much easier to get through.
Everyone is different but for me it was a game changer.
When I'm doing better I take less and vice versa.
I hope you find relief because I know how horrible anxiety can be.
I would combine with cbt or some type of therapy or mindfulness to keep adding to your tools to manage.

Hi there I suffer terribly from flash backs literally hundreds a day they make me cry so I spend every day crying before I go out when I’m home and especially at night I have been told you can get help but I don’t believe anyone can stop your thoughts especially when flash backs take you to exactly what and where they took place they are gut wrenching
