I think u have been given too many combinations of medicines. I feel u should try simple single herb max 2 herb combination not more. More means better is not correct always. I u discribe what is the main type anxiety u feel like associated with fear or grief or anger. And medicines alone doesn’t work. U have to do meditation learn to regulate ur emotions. U need counselling. Only medicines does not help. Plz contact for further help. Give detailed history so that I can help u
