I am diagnosed as having GAD (when I was young I suffered from panic disorder, but I've worked through that). I've been on Valium, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Xanax and for the past year I seem to be getting worse (probably due to peri menopause). My anxiety is manifesting more as feeling totally overwhelmed and "all over the place", unable to focus, out of control. A neurologist suggested beta blockers (the Xanax is the only thing that helps but if I increase the dose I mostly just feel sleepy as opposed to calm.) I feel as though I'm running out of options. Has anyone else gone through this and have beta blockers been helpful (or any other medication I haven't been on yet?)
