Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello there if I were your physician I would not waste your money in unnecessary tests & after taking a detailed case history would confirm your diagnosis of G.A.D. and phobia,& start you on s.s.r.i's as the medicines you are taking are only for emergency use and not for testing the cause,kindly consult a psychiatrist as these are prescription drugs.
