"i&#039;ve been suffering from general anxiety disorder for over 30 years.  i was on lexapro which was controlling my anxiety wonderfully.  i was laid of from my job after 28 years working there.  i then found a new job but because it was change and new i had a massive panic/anxiety attack and quit the job after 3 days.  my psychiatrist then prescribed xanax along with the lexapro.  i was taking 40 mg of lexapro and .75mg of xanax daily, the combination has worked for the last 6 years.  however now i have another new job and had another massive panic/anxiety attack.  the combination of lexapro and xanax is no longer working.  i am now trying 20mg of brintellix and 3mg of chlonopin.  i&#039;m hoping this works in order to keep my job."
