As you are taking antianxiety medication since last 2 years but your symptoms still persisting, it suggests that medication are either not optimal in dose or you need to change to another medication. Psychotherapy (exposure response prevention or CBT) may be added with medication for better results. For these you need to consult a psychiatrist.
