Severe Episodic Anxiety

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I have severe anxiety (particularly with automobiles and airplanes) and it's gotten fired and semester failures and social outcasting. My doctors have tried three or four SSRIs (Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, etc. [for 4-6 months each]), and besides the few weeks they had me on low doses of benzodiazepines. They helped REMARKABLY. I'm currently getting prescribed 400mg Seroquel and 100mg Trazadome, and those definitely helped my insomnia, but not my anxiety all too much. I just wish I could get help.
