How effective do yall think your medicine is at controlling anxiety? I'm on Lexapro and although I have had to up my dose over time, I still have a considerable amount of anxiety. I do exercise and eat right and try to remember to practice my breathing. It's like I learn to control it and overcome my phobias and then I start getting anxiety in the same situations again over time.

2. One of my friends who has anxiety and her Mom who deals with depression think a diff medicine would be more effective at relieving the anxiety.

ADVICE???
