The problem with treating anxiety with drugs
alone, is that the body gets used to the medication and we need more of it to get the same effects. (And there are safe limits with
every drug)
Any GP who can't advise you on
medication has no business being a doctor.
We're not doctors. We don't have access to your medical notes or the years of training at med school. (Only one person can help you here, and that's
your doctor)
The real 'hero' with anxiety is
therapy because it's this which teaches us to challenge our thinking. Anyone can take a pill; all it requires is water and the ability to swallow. Voila, you can function again. Sorta. But your anxiety hasn't been addressed; it's being
masked. It's still there and it keeps creeping up as the effectiveness of the medication declines. And this is what's happening to you.
My advice is to speak to your doctor re your medication and really give some thought to CBT..
