Hello Marla :)

How is your appetite? Not good I'm guessing. The medication (any medication) will not work to it's full potential without adequate nutrition, I learned this when I had a really "lucky" brush with Breast Cancer. I only had to have 2 cuts for biopsy then another to get clean margins, but the stress from worrying, well I could not eat. I was taking over 15mg (Total) of xanax in a day, and they would ease my anxiety for only an hour or so. Try some "Ensure, or Boost" those high protien drinks. They are stock full of vitamins and good fats, I ate avacados until they were coming out of my ears :) and if I can be so bold? The Boost really got my appetite working again. I don't know what your condition is, but nutrition is so important for your meds to work. I'm not a doc or nurse, just sounds like I've been where you are and it's a frightening place when the anti-anxiety pills won't work. Indeed very frightening. Try some Boost or Ensure, and definitely talk with your doctor. My heart goes out to you and please keep us informed of your condition. You are cared for, and don't give up. All my best!!
