My suggestion.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I can say that you are on correct medications for anxiety that is benzodiazepines which acts on GABA neurotransmitter.

But...you can also take antidepressants like ESCITALOPRAM to combat with your symptoms.

I advise you to discuss with your doctor regarding this.
Hope this information would help you.
