Are you in regular therapy? If not I'd find a councellor or therapist ASAP. The meds can help with the symptoms of anxiety but it's really helpful to have someone knowledgeable you can talk about this stuff with. I took Lexapro, and that kept me functional, but I my quality of life didn't dramatically improve until I got into therapy and began to understand how my thought processes were contributing to my anxiety problem. Then, the more I learned about my anxiety the better I was able to control it.
