I understand. Anxiety is new to me with my depression in the last five years. I hate it more than anything. Depression I am used to as I have had it my whole life and will take it over anxiety any day. I also get this feeling of impending doom like I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop for no rational reason. Sometimes the meds won't touch it or I have to take alot of them.

One time I was crawling out of my skin and I didn't not have any benzo's. I could not sleep. I had ambien. I would take an ambien wait two hours and nothing, so I would take another one and nothing, wait two more hours and finally after the third one I could get fours hours of sleep. They tell me to take .5 mg of klonopin for severe anxiety. When I have severe anxiety it takes 2 mg to even touch it. Then if I tell my pdoc they think I am abusing them and don't want to give me more.

Call your doc and tell them you need to take more than prescribed because it just isn't working at that dose. For me anxiety can just eat through drugs like they are candy.
