I've always had problems with extreme anxiety my whole life, and about a month ago I bucked up and went to the doctor. They put me on Citalopram 10MG, and I've steadily worked myself up to 40MG doses, been taking those for about a week. They also prescribed Clonezapam 0.5MG to take whenever I have an anxiety attack.

My doctor and I have agreed that it's my job that's causing this anxiety. Since I work at as inbound customer care for a major cell phone company. Which can be a very stressful job. Even though I do really enjoy it.

But I really don't know what to do anymore. I take huge anxiety attack 50% of the time when I wake up in the morning for work, and while I am looking for somewhere else to work, I still have to stay here for the time being since I need income. My doctor says to keep taking the medication and it will improve, but I'm scared because it hasn't been getting better so far. I feel absolutely hopeless, I've been having anxiety attacks all day today and the Clonezapam hasn't helped subsiding them like it usually does.

I'm really just ranting at this point because I don't have many places where I'm comfortable discussing this. But my anxiety has gotten so debilitating recently, and I'm so confused about what to do. It's just overwhelming and terrifying.
