Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that your anxiety disorder has not yet been resolved. It is difficult to treat anxiety disorder with medicines alone. I suggest progressive counseling and psychotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
