It's just they all talk about it like it's something that's going to totally change everything.

Yeah, unfortunately the meds get way oversold. I don't think they're the miracles everyone says they are, but they do have some usefulness. They're easily available, and they can help. They're a tool not a miracle.

I really don't seem much happening - it makes me calmer and everything gets worse when I stop - but not much changes with it, I still get scared.

If you're feeling calmer, it's helping. Even if you still feel scared, if it's taking the edge off the fear, it's a good thing. It'll be easier to move on with your life - succeed in school. Right?
Don't stop the medication suddenly. It'll just create a rebound. That's why it seems worse when you suddenly quit.
