Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

The only thing to do is to force yourself to do things. I used to tell My late Mother, step into your fears. Now look at me, I am sitting here procrastinating on the things I should be doing and will have to force myself outside even though my mind is telling me something else. And, also experiencing muscular pain and legs. Not to mention low energy level. Now, I am going to sound like the standard dialog on what to do next. Have you done therapy and / or seen a psychiatrist?

I know, this Gold Standard has not worked specifically for me, but depending on where you are in your journey, this would be a good first step for you if you have not already done so.

Oh yes been on antidepressants psychiatrists, therapists sine my 20's. I am 73 . Breaking my ankle 6 months ago has traumatized me. I believe i have PTSD again.

I have recently seen a psychiatrist but he had no advice other than to start a new medication. I didn’t start it as my condition is not due to lack of a medication, it’s due to too many medications.
