Hi,you could try nardil (it's a maoi) although it's an old medication that most drs are not all that familiar anymore with and thus have inaccurate ideas and opinions about. For me anxiety is my root issue...xanax was helpful for awhile until I found nardil. It's brilliant for my anxiety, especially the ease of physical tension and ability to focus/concentrate and socialize. It's an AD that doesnt come with the stereotype of addictive potential (like xanax and other benzos) that prevents a drs ease at prescribing daily for longterm like xanax.
keep smilin,
